Russian President Vladimir Putin declared an "Easter truce" in the war in Ukraine on Saturday, saying that the Russian side will cease military action from 6 p.m. local Saturday night until midnight April 21.
Putin said he assumes that "the Ukrainian side will follow our example," according to a statement on the Kremlin's Telegram channel. But he also says Russia will respond to "violations of the truce and provocations" by Ukraine, the statement said.
There has been no response yet from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or Ukrainian officials.
The proposed truce comes as U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, continued holding talks in Paris this week to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. Rubio said the talks were "productive" but asserted that the U.S. was willing to move on from the negotiations if they didn't yield results.

No.
Hes JEWISH so he doesn’t give a rip about Easter.
“Will Zelensky follow it?”
That’s up to his Masters. My guess would be yes.
no
>>>>Hes JEWISH so he doesn’t give a rip about Easter.<<<<
He’s a Jew in name only. He doesn’t give a rip about Passover either.
No chance.
He’s observing Passover. Why does everyone hate the Jews even when they try to do good?
Russia tried this before
No Ukraine did not accept
Look for a horrendous false flag on civilians the Ukes can blame on Russia
Its what they do
Because it was prophesied that would happen. They just can’t help themselves.
No!
Because YESHUA comes from Israel.
He’s not Jewish, at least not until his mess got ugly. Yet with a Christian wife and children no less.

It’s all about presenting an image to Trump, the all powerful person in the situation.
The more significant focus is this week’s comments about Powell and interest rates. In this time frame Trump is getting essentially daily briefings about interest on the $37T national debt and the potential failure of Senate Reconciliation.
Meaning, the price tag is much on his mind. It provides principle balm to Rubio, too. This is the source of all the talk about “moving on” and “other priorities” out of the Swamp creature, Rubio with his 99-0 confirmation vote. Rubio would love to announce $billions more for Ukraine, but getting fired would end his ambitions. He has no Senate seat to return to. His political life would end if he either resigns or gets fired over “differences in opinion”. The money totals and $37T in debt permit him to stay put.
This is why the talk about walking away was so meaningful from Rubio. It’s the sort of thing one could expect from Witkoff. When it came from Rubio, that was crushing to the Europeans.
Nothing Putin says can be trusted. His announcement is for propaganda purposes, and if he breaks it, Russian media will just blame the Ukies. The Ukies should do what is in their best interests.
Hmmm...may be interested...ovah heah!
Gee doc. How very wise of you.
NFN but the offer you are pooh-poohing didn’t come from a certain Mr. Z.
When you are decimating the nation you invaded and spent the last week launching new missiles into towns and cities of Ukraine, you can “afford” to call a “truce”.
All Putin is really doing is trying to give his own troops a break, period, that and pretending to play nice.
What a silly argument....Z is JEWISH! Pretty sure he cares nothing about Easter.
Guessing that the “other priorities” so non-specifially cited by SOS Rubio primarily center around the current glaring misbehavior on the part of the regime in Tehran, and steps the White House and/or Israel may soon take, possibly in close cooperation with each other, should the same be deemed, shall we say...expedient.
