Zelensky: "Easter update from Ukraine’s top commander, Gen. Syrskyi: By 4 PM, Russia launched 46 assaults and 901 attacks — 448 with heavy weapons. Over 400 FPV drone strikes were recorded. Most active front: Pokrovsk. Putin’s so-called ceasefire is a lie. Ukraine is ready for real peace — Russia isn’t."

🇷🇺 Using the ceasefire to retrieve their dead, clear mines, bring supplies, and fortify positions.

🇨🇿 Czech FM Lipavský nailed it: “Putin’s Easter truce is like fasting between breakfast and lunch—while secretly snacking on candy.” 🎯 A PR stunt, not a real ceasefire.

Germany’s EKC.AG — based in Franconia — supplied nearly 50% of Russia’s chromium imports used for tanks, cannons & shells. From Jan 2023 to Apr 2024: €24.2M worth of exports to Putin’s war machine.
UK has now sanctioned the company.

Zelensky's 'truce' update:

"Since the morning, Russian forces have violated Putin’s ceasefire over 2,000 times, with 67 assaults and 1,355 shellings, including 713 with heavy weapons. They’ve used FPVs 673 times. Despite promising peace, Russia’s actions show it’s not interested in real ceasefire. Ukraine continues to offer a 30-day real truce, focused on no strikes on civilian infrastructure. If Russia rejects this, it’ll prove their intent to keep destroying lives and prolonging the war."

Observed by Russians, Ukrainian forces are also evacuating the dead and wounded. This is footage from the Zaporizhzia direction.

Trump claims Putin, Biden, and Zelensky are all responsible for the war in Ukraine. According to him, Putin shouldn’t have started it, Biden missed the chance to stop it, and Zelensky could also stopped it.

He added there will be "very good proposals" for resolving the 'conflict' (Russian propaganda narrative) soon. Plain and simple, he's out of touch.

Good night, sleep well. See you tomorrow!

Good morning ☀️

Russian losses per 21/04/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff. A decrease in losses during the 'truce'.

+670 men
+2 tanks
+2 AFVs
+10 artillery
+30 UAVs

Overnight, Russia once again attacked with Shaheds. Out of 96 drones, 42 were shot down and another 47 were lost in location without negative consequences.

‼️ Russia's MoD says the "truce" is officially over and combat operations have resumed.

Truth: in some parts of the front, it never stopped. The so-called "Easter truce" was a PR-stunt from day one.
