In a recent development, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a 30-hour unilateral truce for Easter, expecting Ukraine to reciprocate. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded, stating that Kyiv would honor the ceasefire if Moscow does. However, reports indicate that Russia continued to fire artillery during this supposed truce. As tensions rise, both sides are keen to show their willingness for peace talks, especially with the Trump administration expressing impatience over the ongoing conflict.

Many analysts and commentators view Putin's ceasefire as a manipulative tactic rather than a genuine peace offering, citing a history of broken promises. One comment highlighted the skepticism, stating, “This seems less about peace and more about strategy.” The situation remains fluid as Ukraine ramps up its artillery production amid fears of diminishing U.S. support, and international leaders discuss new formats for negotiations. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
