India-Pakistan ceasefire holds despite fresh violation claims

A fragile India-Pakistan ceasefire holds after four days of clashes; Trump claims U.S. helped broker deal, but both sides report violations hours later.

A fragile ceasefire is in place between India and Pakistan after four days of cross-border attacks. President Trump announced the ceasefire on social media yesterday, crediting the U.S. with helping broker the agreement. However, within hours, both countries accused each other of violations. Pakistan denied the claims, saying it remains committed to peace.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a rare Saturday night address from the Kremlin, saying Russia is ready for “serious negotiations.” He proposed direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on Thursday, May 15, aiming to address what he called “the root causes of the conflict” and explore a new ceasefire. Hours later, Kyiv’s mayor and the Ukrainian air force warned of a Russian airstrike on the capital.
