Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a surprise three-day ceasefire from May 8-10, coinciding with Moscow's WWII Victory Day commemorations. The Kremlin called on Ukraine to do the same, warning of an "adequate and effective response" should Kyiv violate the truce. The announcement comes after North Korea confirmed for the first time that it had sent troops to fight for Russia. President Putin acknowledged the aid provided by reclusive North Korea, saying the Kremlin is ready to provide military assistance as well, if needed. Dasha Chernyshova reports from Moscow.
