Ukraine wary of Putin's Easter ceasefire

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary Easter ceasefire in Ukraine starting Saturday. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is wary of Putin's proposal and says attacks are ongoing in Ukraine. "If Russia is now suddenly ready to truly engage in a format of full and unconditional silence, Ukraine will act accordingly — mirroring Russia’s actions. Silence in response to silence, defensive strikes in response to attacks. If a complete ceasefire truly takes hold, Ukraine proposes extending it beyond the Easter day of April 20. That is what will reveal Russia’s true intentions — because 30 hours is enough to make headlines, but not for genuine confidence-building measures. Thirty days could give peace a chance," shared Zelenskyy in a post on "X" Saturday.
