DeepState has collected information about the situation at the front. As they stated in their communication, in few places have soldiers felt the announced ceasefire. The Russians continued military actions at night.

In the city of Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region and Kamianske in the Dnipropetrovsk region, "artillery is approaching, and enemy drones are operating." Andriyivka and Oleksiyivka are being shelled. There was also an assault near the village of Uspenivka in the Zaporizhzhia region at night. To the south of Pokrovske, mortar positions are being shelled, and to the north of Toretsk, an artillery assault is ongoing. The Russians are also shelling Kherson.

"Indeed, in some areas, it is quiet, but it is Saturday, and the enemy is giving a large part of their forces a rest for the weekend along the entire line of contact," reads the analysis.

On Saturday, Vladimir Putin called for an "Easter truce." He announced that Russia "would cease all military actions from 6:00 PM Moscow time on April 19 to midnight on April 21."

"Russian artillery is still heard." Ukraine on the front line situation

The head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Andriy Kovalenko, reported that despite the "Easter truce" announced by Vladimir Putin, the Russians are still conducting shelling.

This information is confirmed by the report from the commander-in-chief, which the Ukrainian president shared on social media. "Kursk and Belgorod regions — Easter statements by Putin did not extend to this territory," it reads. "Hostilities continue, and Russian strikes persist," adds the commander-in-chief.

"Russian artillery can still be heard in certain directions of the front, regardless of the Russian leader's promise of silence. Russian drones are in use. In some areas, the situation has become quieter," the report conveyed.
