Putin and Zelensky Seal 32-Hour Easter Truce

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have agreed to a temporary ceasefire for Orthodox Easter. The truce is set to run from 4:00 PM on April 11 until midnight on April 12. This 32-hour pause echoes a similar agreement last year, although both sides accused each other of violations once it ended. Zelensky praised the move and said Ukraine is ready to match the pause with reciprocal steps. The deal comes amid intense fighting. Reports suggest Moscow suffered around 1,100 troop losses in a single day before the ceasefire. Russia also warned of action against Baltic nations that allow Ukraine to use their airspace for drone strikes. Diplomatic efforts continue in the United States, where Russia’s special envoy is meeting with officials to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine and potential economic cooperation. Some international observers remain skeptical about whether the truce will hold on the front lines.
