Russia launched 286 drones and missiles across Ukraine in what President Zelensky called an 'Easter escalation,' killing at least six civilians and injuring 40 others, with a drone strike on a Nikopol market and attacks destroying homes in Zhytomyr and hitting apartment blocks in Kyiv. Zelensky accused Moscow of choosing escalation over his proposed Orthodox Easter ceasefire and warned that the Middle East conflict threatens Ukraine's weapons supply, as US focus shifts away from mediating peace talks that have been postponed twice. Ukraine responded with deep strikes on Russian energy facilities including the Ust-Luga port and a military equipment plant in Togliatti. Despite the violence, British intelligence assessed the frontline situation as the most favorable for Ukraine in 10 months, with Russian advances appearing to slow.
