Ukraine and Russia Accuse each other on Sunday One-day Easter ceasefire President Vladimir Putin announced that both sides accused the other of an attack overnight.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy The accusation of creating a false appearance in recognition of the Easter ceasefire, said his country’s troops recorded 59 Russian shelling and five attacks along the frontline, as well as dozens of drone strikes.
“As of Easter morning, we could say that the Russian army was trying to make a general impression of the ceasefire, but in some places it did not give up on personal attempts to promote and cause Ukraine’s losses.”
Zelenskyy said in a later update that despite Ukraine’s announcement of a symmetric approach to symmetric Russian action, there has been an increase in Russian shelling and drone attacks since 10 a.m. local time. But, “at least it’s a good thing to not have an air raid sirens,” he said.
“In fact, Putin either did not have full control of his army or proved that in Russia they had no intention of taking real action to end the war, only interested in favorable PR coverage.”

According to the Kremlin, the ceasefire will last from Moscow at 6 p.m., which will take Saturday to midnight after Easter Sunday. Putin did not provide details on how to monitor the ceasefire or whether it covers an angry air strike or ongoing ground war.
Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia also clearly did not observe an Easter ceasefire when President Trump said Friday that negotiations between Ukraine and Russia were “overhead” and insisted that both sides were working to end the three-year war.
Trump said on Sunday that he hopes Russia and Ukraine will reach a deal this week.
“Then both start to do big business with the United States of America, which is booming and playing a role!” He wrote about the social of truth.
