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.

‼️ 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.

Trump is reportedly waiting for Ukraine’s response to his “peace plan” — which includes recognizing Crimea as Russian and abandoning NATO aspirations. Talks are expected in London. If Ukraine's stance aligns, the proposals will be passed to Moscow.

Appeasement isn’t peace.
