Putin's Russia-Ukraine Easter Ceasefire Crumbles Within Hours? Zelensky Breaks Truce, Blames Russia?

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?

‘Terrorists Can’t Be Trusted!’: Angry Ukrainians Slam Putin’s Hollow Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire

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.

Trump Tariffs Spare Russia And North Korea, Target Allies And Even Antarctic Penguins | Details

President Trump’s sweeping global tariff plan has left allies stunned and adversaries relieved. While nations from Europe to Asia face a new 10% baseline tariff, even remote islands inhabited only by seals and penguins weren't spared. Yet, Russia and North Korea escaped penalties—despite ongoing tensions. The White House says sanctions make trade “meaningless,” but US-Russia commerce still surpasses many nations on the tariff list. With 34% on China and 17% on Israel, Trump’s second-term strategy appears to punish friends while repositioning rivals as future partners. #TrumpTariffs #USRussiaRelations #NorthKorea #TradeWar #Trump2025 #GlobalEconomy #TariffPolicy #PenguinsTaxed #RussiaExempt #TrumpNews #WhiteHouse #Putin #TrumpPutin #UkraineCrisis #USAllies #TrumpSecondTerm #Geopolitics #TradeTensions #TariffsExplained #InternationalTrade
