‘Easter truce’ ordered by Putin on Saturday but Ukraine president says Russian army continuing efforts to advance
Easter falls on the same day this year for orthodox and western churches, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Ukrainians not to give up hope that peace will one day return.
Here are some of the latest images coming out of the newswires from Ukraine where festivities continue despite Russian attacks:
We are documenting every Russian violation of its self-declared commitment to a full ceasefire for the Easter period and are prepared to provide the necessary information to our partners.
In practice, either Putin does not have full control over his army, or the situation proves that in Russia, they have no intention of making a genuine move toward ending the war, and are only interested in favorable PR coverage. It’s a good thing, at least, that there were no air raid sirens.
