U.S Trade War: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that Moscow won’t chase the U.S. for sanctions relief, despite bilateral trade plunging 95% from its peak a decade ago. Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying they’ve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russia’s pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence. Former President Trump recently extended U.S. sanctions, citing national security concerns, while hinting at potential relief tied to the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

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.

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?
