Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a 32-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressing readiness to reciprocate the gesture amid a backdrop of escalating tensions.
Just hours into the truce, both sides accused each other of violating the ceasefire, with Ukraine reporting 2,299 breaches attributed to Russian forces, including drone strikes and artillery attacks.
The Russian defense ministry countered with claims of nearly 2,000 breaches by Ukraine, emphasizing the contentious and fragile nature of the agreement.
Amid the ongoing conflict, shocking allegations emerged of Russian troops executing four Ukrainian prisoners of war shortly after the ceasefire began.
Both nations engaged in a significant prisoner exchange ahead of the truce, trading 175 servicemen each, indicating a glimmer of diplomatic effort even as hostilities continue.
The chaotic developments during the ceasefire highlighted the deep-rooted distrust and volatility that persist in the four-year-long conflict, casting further doubt on the prospects for lasting peace.
