Vladimir Putin announced a 30-hour “Easter truce” in Ukraine, set to begin Saturday evening, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported ongoing Russian attacks, expressing distrust in Moscow’s intentions. Zelenskyy criticized Russia for ignoring a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire, stating that Ukraine would mirror Russia’s actions if a genuine ceasefire were established. Additionally, Ukraine and Russia recently exchanged over 500 prisoners of war, highlighting ongoing tensions despite diplomatic efforts for peace.
