Ukraine updates: Kyiv to mirror Russia during 'Easter truce' DW 04/19/2025
Briefly

President Zelenskyy of Ukraine expressed cautious willingness to observe Vladimir Putin's proposed Easter truce, emphasizing the necessity for a more extended ceasefire. Ukraine has faced recent intense Russian assaults, prompting Zelenskyy to reflect on the potential for longer peace measures. While Ukraine is prepared to respond symmetrically to Russian actions, there remains significant skepticism about Moscow's intentions. Zelenskyy highlighted that true peace requires a sustained cessation of hostilities, rather than short-term pauses, to restore trust and stability in the region.
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 Easter.
