Vladimir Putin announced a 32-hour Orthodox Easter ceasefire starting Saturday at 16:00 local time through Easter Sunday, while Ukrainian President Zelenskyy responded cautiously that Ukraine would act accordingly. The ceasefire proposal comes amid ongoing violence, with several people killed in Russian attacks on Nikopol, Zhytomyr, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions, and drone strikes damaging energy infrastructure in Odesa. Ukraine remains deeply skeptical of Russian ceasefire offers after Russia violated a previous May ceasefire hundreds of times during the WWII victory anniversary. The fundamental impasse continues: Kyiv demands a full ceasefire before peace negotiations, while Moscow insists on a peace deal first, with US-mediated talks currently on hold as Trump focuses on Middle East diplomacy.
