Russian President Vladimir Putin offered heartfelt condolences after the death of Pope Francis, calling him “a great man” and praising his efforts to build bridges with the Orthodox Church. Despite tensions over the Ukraine war and past criticisms—like the Pope warning Patriarch Kirill not to become “Putin’s altar boy”—Putin acknowledged Francis’ role in fostering dialogue and peace. The two leaders met three times and shared a complex relationship shaped by faith and geopolitics. The Russian Orthodox Church will send a high-ranking delegation to the funeral.

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.
