Vladimir Putin declared a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, lasting from Saturday evening to midnight after Easter Sunday, emphasizing humanitarian considerations. He expects Ukraine to reciprocate the truce while warning that Russian troops must remain vigilant against potential violations and provocations. This announcement coincides with reports of ongoing military engagements in the Kursk region, where Russia claims to have gained ground against Ukrainian forces. The situation remains fluid with a backdrop of recent drone attacks by Russia, complicating the ceasefire dynamic.
Guided by humanitarian considerations, today from 18:00 to 00:00 from Sunday to Monday, the Russian side declares an Easter truce. I order that all military actions be stopped for this period.
We assume that the Ukrainian side will follow our example. At the same time, our troops must be ready to repel possible violations of the truce and provocations from the enemy.
