Russia’s Easter truce is a lie and attacks go on, says Zelensky

1. President Putin announced an Easter truce in Ukraine on Saturday, in a move that was met with scepticism in Kyiv as attacks continued.

   The Russian leader hailed a 30-hour ceasefire coming into effect that evening in a gesture that, according to Ukraine, soon bore no relation to life on the ground. Air raid sirens rang out in Kyiv four hours after the proposed truce was expected to begin due to a “missile threat” and Russian offensive actions continued in points along the 600-mile front line.

   “Russian assault operations continue in some areas of the front and Russian artillery does not subside,” President Zelensky of Ukraine wrote on social media on Saturday evening.

   On Sunday Zelensky claimed Russian units had carried out hundreds of shellings and drone flights since the truce was supposed to have come into effect. Combat clashes were also recorded in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions

2. It looks like the “Easter truce” narrative, however false it may be, is actually directed at the American public. FOX News has been broadcasting their easter with headlines like “easter in Russia, Kyiv”. Somewhat concerning, but it’s also not the first time Putin has declared a ceasefire that didn’t amount to much either.
