easter truce.....

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared an Easter truce in Ukraine, the Kremlin press service said Saturday, over three years after Moscow launched a full-scale offensive of the neighboring country.

The unilateral break in fighting is scheduled to last from Saturday evening until midnight on Sunday local time.

"During a meeting in the Kremlin, the commander-in-chief heard a report by Valery Gerasimov, chief of the general staff of the Russian armed forces, on the situation on the line of contact and said that the Russian side stops all hostilities from 1800 [1500 GMT] on April 19 to 0000 on April 21," the Kremlin's official Telegram channel said.

Putin: Troops should be ready for 'truce violations'

Putin said Russia "assumed" that Ukraine would follow suit. He also warned Russian troops should be ready to repel possible "provocations by the enemy."

According to the statement on Telegram, Putin said the truce would show how sincere Kyiv was in its willingness to "participate in the process of peace talks aimed at eliminating the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis."

However, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said "Putin's word cannot be trusted." Sybiha added that Kyiv stands by the earlier deal for a 30-day truce which was pitched by the US last month. Moscow had rejected the US suggestion. 

The Russian Defense Ministry said it had instructed all group commanders in Ukraine on the ceasefire.

It said in a statement that Moscow's troops would adhere to the truce provided it is "mutually respected" by Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces are willing to "act accordingly" in response to Putin's "Easter truce."

"If Russia is now suddenly ready to truly engage in a format of full and unconditional silence, Ukraine will act accordingly — mirroring Russia’s actions," Zelenskyy posted on X. "Silence in response to silence, defensive strikes in response to attacks. If a complete ceasefire truly takes hold, Ukraine proposes extending it beyond the Easter day of April 20."

The Ukrainian armed forces conducted artillery shelling on the Kakhovskaya power substation of the Rosseti branch – the Tavrichesky enterprise of main electric networks in the Kherson Region, the ministry said.
