Two-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, President Putin announced; know the reason

Russia - Ukraine War: Russian President Putin has announced a two-day ceasefire amid the ongoing war with Ukraine. The ceasefire between the two countries will be in effect for 36 hours between January 6 and 7. In fact, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church called for a 36-hour Christmas ceasefire in Ukraine this weekend. Based on this appeal, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the army to observe a 36-hour ceasefire in Ukraine from the afternoon of January 6 to the midnight of January 7.

In Moscow, Patriarch Kirill suggested a ceasefire be declared from Friday afternoon to Saturday midnight local time. Significantly, the Russian Orthodox Church uses the old Julian calendar and therefore celebrates Christmas on January 7, which falls 13 days after the Gregorian calendar.
