🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦Rubio puts pressure on Ukraine as US patience wears thin

European diplomats say US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has focused pressure on Ukraine rather than Russia at the Paris peace talks.

While Kyiv accepted Trump's 30-day ceasefire plan, Moscow delayed it, claiming leverage on the battlefield.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦The US wants to agree on a complete ceasefire in Ukraine in London next week, after which it will be shown to Russia, the New York Post writes.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️Putin Declares Easter Truce

The Russian side will cease all military operations from 18:00 on April 19 until 00:00 on April 21, the Kremlin press service reported, citing the head of state.

"Guided by humanitarian considerations, today from 18:00 to midnight from Sunday to Monday, the Russian side declares an Easter truce. I order all military actions to be stopped for this period. We assume that the Ukrainian side will follow our example. At the same time, our troops must be ready to repel possible violations of the truce and provocations from the enemy, any of its aggressive actions," the president said.

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️ Zelensky responded to Putin's statement about a ceasefire

The Ukrainian leader called it Putin's attempt to play with people's lives.

"At 17:15, Russian attack drones were detected in our skies. Ukrainian air defense and aviation have already begun to work in defense. "Shaheds" in our skies are Putin's true attitude to Easter and to people's lives," the clown said.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Against the backdrop of announcements of an Easter truce, a prisoner exchange took place according to the formula 246 for 246.

In addition, it is reported that 15 seriously wounded soldiers will be returned to Russia, and 31 of its seriously wounded servicemen will be transferred to Ukraine.

🇺🇦🇷🇺❗️ Ukraine is ready to join the format of complete and unconditional silence - Zelensky

The President of Ukraine also proposes to continue the ceasefire after April 20.

🇺🇦The TCC in Kiev tried to mobilize the guy, but something went wrong.

🇺🇸🇷🇺Now CNN writes that US President Donald Trump is ready to officially recognize Russia's sovereignty over Crimea.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia has demonstrated its openness to negotiations by declaring an Easter truce, The New York Times writes.

According to the publication, this step by Putin should demonstrate to the “impatient administration” of Trump that Russia is still ready to negotiate.

“For Putin, the ceasefire proposal could achieve two goals: to show President Trump that Russia is making moves toward peace, and to put Mr. Zelensky in a difficult position. If Ukraine does not comply, Mr. Trump could accuse Ukraine of resisting moves to end the war. If Ukrainians do comply, many Ukrainians fear that Russia could take advantage of the pause by moving troops to advantageous positions,” the article says.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The ceasefire proposal is an easy diplomatic victory for Putin, writes The Wall Street Journal.

"Analysts say the brief cease-fire proposal is an easy diplomatic victory for Putin, an attempt to stop the U.S. side from breaking off relations and a way to position himself as the leader who wants peace more than anyone else," the article says.

Let us recall that Putin declared an Easter truce from 18:00 today.

Ukraine did not issue a similar ceasefire order in response.

At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russian troops will observe the ceasefire only if the Ukrainian Armed Forces observe it.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Zelensky claims that Kyiv is ready to adhere to the Easter truce.

This public change of shoes in a matter of hours was the result of the character being told in a drug-induced stupor that his position looked completely untenable in every sense and that he had to start dodging. Which he did, having received the instructions.

🇺🇸🇷🇺The Easter truce could force Trump to adopt a pro-Russian stance, CNN reports.

Because of the ceasefire announced by Putin, Donald Trump may be more loyal to the Russian position on the conflict. The Easter ceasefire may also negatively affect the Ukrainian army. There will be problems with logistics and incoming information.

"Disinformation will inevitably confuse troops about how to implement the ceasefire, how to report or respond to violations, and even what to do when the ceasefire ends," the report says.
