Despite a declared 30-hour Easter cease-fire by Moscow, fighting resumed almost immediately as Russian troops engaged in heavy artillery fire and assaults against Ukrainian positions. Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the breach, highlighting over 450 artillery strikes and drone use during the supposed truce. He expressed skepticism about Russia's intentions, noting ongoing attempts to advance in certain regions. Zelensky reiterated that Ukrainian forces would respond to Russian actions, underlining the prevailing tension amidst claims of a cease-fire intended to demonstrate a willingness for peace talks with the U.S.
Russian troops fired artillery almost 450 times between 6 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday, despite Moscow's announcement of a 30-hour Easter cease-fire.
Zelensky stated that the cease-fire was not in effect in Russia's Kursk and Belgorod regions, where Russia aims to recapture territory.
