Both Russians and Ukrainians sceptical of Easter truce

Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a 30-hour Easter truce came as a surprise to many – but citizens in both Moscow and Kyiv express scepticism over whether it will make any lasting difference to the three-year conflict.

Both sides have accused each other of violating the truce, although Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed extending it for 30 days beyond Sunday to "give peace a chance".
