BREAKING | Putin Declares 'Easter Ceasefire' Amid Trump's Pullback Warning | Ukraine War

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced unilateral Easter truce in the war in Ukraine, according to the Kremlin. Ukraine has not responded so far.

“Today from 1800 (15:00 GMT) to midnight Sunday (21:00 GMT Sunday), the Russian side announces an Easter truce,” Putin said in televised comments Saturday, while speaking to Russian chief of staff Valery Gerasimov.

Putin said he assumed Ukraine would follow Russia’s example and said Kyiv’s actions during the ceasefire will will show its readiness for a peaceful settlement.

But the Russian President also told Gerasimov, to ready troops to repel any violations of the truce by Ukraine.
