US President Donald Trump’s hope that the May 9-11 ceasefire will be extended is not supported by the actual situation and is hindered by the Kiev regime’s inability to uphold it, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov told reporters. "Yes, [Trump’s hope for an extension of the ceasefire] is unfounded," the diplomat said. "But he hopes for it, why not? And he is working toward it," he added. "But this (a prolonged ceasefire - TASS) depends not only on him, but also on the other two parties," Ushakov concluded.
