- Vladimir Putin did not issue an order to extend the Easter ceasefire, Dmitry Peskov told the TASS agency. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky 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 aimed to halt military activities in Ukraine. Despite the declaration, attacks from the Russian side did not cease, causing international outrage. The European Commission and the United Kingdom called on Russia for a genuine ceasefire, emphasising the need for lasting peace.
The Easter ceasefire was seen as a political manoeuvre intended to appease international public opinion. Experts indicate that unilateral declarations from Russia do not match reality, and military actions continue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed scepticism about Moscow's intentions.
Despite the announced ceasefire, the situation in Ukraine remains tense. Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of violating the terms of the ceasefire. International calls for a lasting ceasefire highlight the need for real action from Russia to achieve peace in the region.
