Tonight, Russia is attacking Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Earlier today, the Kremlin offered a short-term ceasefire in Ukraine, but it wouldn't

start for another 10 days.

The U.S., Ukraine, and Western European allies have all been pushing Moscow to accept an

immediate month-long ceasefire.

Meantime, Russian forces appear to be slowly gaining ground in areas that could

end up as part of a land swap. Our Nick Schifrin joins us now. All right, Nick. So what did

Russia offer today and what has been the response? The Kremlin offered a ceasefire that would

begin, as you said, Jeff, on May the 8th. The Kremlin said that it was based on humanitarian grounds. But May the 9th,

just so happens, to pee the day that Russia celebrates the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany

in World War II. You see the images there. It always includes a big parade in Red Square.

That's from last year. Now, this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to participate,

and today Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy said Putin was prioritizing peaceful parades over people's

lives. For some reason, everyone is supposed to wait for May 8th and only then have a ceasefire

to ensure calm for Putin during the parade. We value people's lives, not parades.

We believe, and the world believes, there is no reason to wait for May 8th.

And the ceasefire should not be for a few days, only to resume the killing afterward.

But it wasn't only Zelensky today, Jeff, who criticized Putin's proposal.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt reiterated that President Trump wanted to see the war

end or at least come to a ceasefire right now.

He is increasingly frustrated with leaders of both countries.

He wants to see a permanent ceasefire.
