Putin's Easter Ceasefire Accused of Being a Sham as Ukraine Reports Ongoing Attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of violating a 30-hour Easter ceasefire announced by President Vladimir Putin. Despite the truce, Ukraine reports that Russian forces continued to launch artillery and drone strikes across the frontline. Zelensky claims the ceasefire was merely for show, intended to create the impression of peace while hostilities persisted. The accusations highlight ongoing distrust and the difficulty of establishing genuine pauses in the conflict. The situation underscores the continued volatility and lack of progress toward a lasting peace between the two nations.
