Ukraine wary of Putin’s Easter truce and says it will reciprocate only a genuine ceasefire CHERNIHIV REGION, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine says it will reciprocate any genuine ceasefire by Moscow, but has voiced skepticism after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary Easter truce in Ukraine starting Saturday. The announcement from Kyiv came as Russia and Ukraine conducted their largest prisoner exchange since Moscow’s full-scale invasion started over three years ago. Putin announced a temporary Easter ceasefire in Ukraine starting Saturday, citing humanitarian reasons.
According to the Kremlin, the ceasefire will last from 6 p.m. Moscow time (1500 GMT) on Saturday to midnight (2100 GMT) following Easter Sunday.
Putin offered no details on how the ceasefire would be monitored or whether it would cover airstrikes or ongoing ground battles that rage around the clock. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.
