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.

“Good news... Will Zelensky follow it?”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><
Zelensky has already signed the American cease-free deal, more than a month ago! Z-man Putin has refused to accept or sign its part of the deal - rebuffing Trump’s effort. Actually, since Ukraine signed the American proposed deal, Russia has been escalating the war ever since - for the last 5 weeks. Putin’s way of mocking Trump I guess.
So.. if Putin finally honors ONE single day of cease fire (while illegally invading a country which isn’t his)... I guess it should be called”good news” ?
In a statement Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not say whether or not Ukraine would agree to the truce, but called the proposal “yet another attempt by Putin to play with human lives”
fagboy Z hates white Christians and he is taking a lot of joy in killing as many as he can.
He promised not to kill Zelenski for starters.
Rubio is doing a great job, as stated by Trump.
Watched Rubio press conference yesterday. He was impressive.
I can live with Vance/Rubio 2028.
Everyone loves their boogerman.
The fact is, the cease fire was offered by one and no comment was offered by the other.
Tells a sensible person something.
Russia is 100% capable of striking Ukraine anywhere it wants, including whatever bolt hole Zelenski crawls into. Why they didn’t decapitate the regime in Kiev early is anyone’s guess, but maybe they didn’t expect the 2024 Ukraine elections to get cancelled and he would get removed that way.
-btw the Israelis tell a funny story about the early days with Zelenski hiding in a bunker and Putin giving them assurances that Russia wouldn’t deliberately try to kill him.
I’m not a Putin lover. Go back and read my posts. I want the fighting and dying to end.
Its up to the parties involved to make that happen and I hope that is soon.
... the Israelis tell a funny story about the early days with Zelenski...

Here are the facts (he refuses Biden’s offer to be evacuated):
Zelensky rejects US evacuation offer: I need ammunition, ‘not a ride’

Stop with your nonsense...everyone remembers ‘Green Screen’ Zelenski 😂
Swamp gets drained not by elevating it.
Vance had only 2 years in the Swamp. That made him acceptable.
Rubio is Swamp. Too long in politics. Now, he can eradicate the stain by 5-10 years OUT of politics, but no other way.
