Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing war with Ukraine, citing humanitarian considerations. The ceasefire, set to take effect from 18:00 Sunday to 00:00 Monday, aims to provide a brief respite during Easter celebrations.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared to dismiss the move, noting that air raid alerts remained active across Ukraine despite the announcement. The war has endured for over three years, claiming tens of thousands of lives.
Analysts speculate on the broader implications of Putin’s move, questioning whether it signifies a genuine effort toward de-escalation or a strategic maneuver amid international pressures.
