What was meant to be a 30-hour Easter ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine quickly descended into chaos, as both sides exchanged fire and accusations. Within hours of Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing a “humanitarian” truce, Ukrainian strikes reportedly hit Donetsk and Lugansk, triggering fires and damage. Kyiv, meanwhile, accused Moscow of using the ceasefire as a smokescreen while continuing drone and artillery attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Russia carried out nearly 400 assaults overnight, but questions are now being raised: Did Zelensky fall into a trap? Who really broke the truce first?

The Kremlin has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not extended the Easter ceasefire with Ukraine, which was set to end at midnight on April 21. Despite Putin's initial announcement for a 30-hour truce, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of multiple violations during the pause. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov clarified that no additional orders were given to prolong the ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated willingness to extend the truce if Moscow adhered to the terms, but both sides reported hundreds of attacks during the declared pause in hostilities.

Donald Trump has said he hopes Russia and Ukraine "will make a deal this week" as Vladimir Putin's "Easter truce" expired, with the two countries blaming each.. Sky News
Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire: Russia’s sudden announcement of a 30-hour Easter ceasefire has been met with outrage and deep suspicion in Ukraine. Citizens across Kyiv and other cities have rejected the so-called truce, calling it a deceptive move by the Kremlin to regroup and reload. Many Ukrainians label the ceasefire a propaganda stunt, insisting that “terrorists cannot be trusted” and warning that such pauses often precede intensified attacks. As missiles continue to fall in some regions, trust in Moscow’s intentions is nonexistent, and fears of a post-ceasefire assault loom large.

Russia has ended its 30-day moratorium on energy-related strikes—an informal ceasefire reportedly brokered by Donald Trump. With the deal now effectively dead, Russian forces launched long-range precision strikes on Ukraine’s drone production facilities, airfields, and weapons depots. The Kremlin accuses Kyiv of violating the truce through drone incursions into Russian territory, prompting what Moscow calls a justified military response. As hopes for a Trump-led diplomatic breakthrough fade, the region braces for renewed conflict.

U.S. President Donald Trump has officially extended sanctions against Russia, originally imposed by former President Joe Biden in April 2021. The decision, announced via the U.S. Federal Register on April 10, reaffirms the national emergency over Russia's cyber operations, election interference, and continued threats to international peace. Despite White House calls for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, no major new sanctions have been introduced—yet. However, sources suggest that if a ceasefire isn't reached by the end of April, the Trump administration may escalate punitive measures. The Kremlin has denounced the sanctions as politically motivated, while Washington insists Russia’s actions continue to pose a serious national security threat.
