- Vladimir Putin did not issue an order to extend the Easter ceasefire, Dmitry Peskov told the TASS agency. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky had appealed for an extension of the break in military activities at the front.
"Easter ceasefire" announced by Putin
The Easter ceasefire announced by Vladimir Putin was intended to halt military activities in Ukraine. Despite this declaration, attacks from the Russian side persisted, causing international outrage. The European Commission and the United Kingdom called on Russia for a genuine ceasefire, emphasizing the need for lasting peace.
The Easter ceasefire was perceived as a political maneuver aimed at appeasing international public opinion. Experts note that unilateral declarations from Russia often do not reflect reality, and military actions continue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed skepticism about Moscow's intentions.
Despite the announced ceasefire, the situation in Ukraine remains tense. Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of violating the ceasefire terms. International calls for a lasting truce highlight the need for real action from Russia to achieve peace in the region.
