President Trump "wants to see a permanent ceasefire first, to stop the killing, stop the bloodshed," press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, even as President Donald Trump has expressed growing impatience with the stalled efforts to reach a peace agreement.

"The president has made it clear he wants to see a permanent ceasefire first to stop the killing," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.
