Russia says it will cease "all military operations" as part of an "Easter truce" in Ukraine.
In an update on the Kremlin's Telegram, Vladimir Putin says the temporary ceasefire will last from 6pm today (4pm UK time) until Monday.
"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."
Moscow says it assumes the Ukrainian side "will follow our example". Kyiv has not yet issued a response to the proposal.
"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," it adds.

The Zookies lack of response says it all.
I clicked the link. God knows why.
All I saw was the demand to accept cookies and bullet points on other news.
Nowhere did I see Zelensky claiming Russia breached that truce, of proof thereof.
More Zeeper BS propaganda.
“We know all too well how Moscow manipulates, and we are prepared for anything,” he wrote in a statement on X.
“Ukraine’s defence forces will act rationally - responding in kind. Every Russian strike will be met with an appropriate response.”
They say "Sky News is an editorially independent part of Sky UK. Sky UK's parent company Comcast NBCUniversal has guaranteed current funding levels for Sky News until at least 2028."
British editorial slant, working around the old aristocracy of a dead empire, and licking the ring of a new media empire, Comcast NBCUniversal.
The Easter ceasefire will be over before the Ukies get done ‘discussing’ how to respond to it.
The prisoner swap is a good thing.
Zelensky will send his released prisoners back to the front lines
to be ground up in a meat grinder.
YouCrayne prisoners will end up wishing they were still Ruzzian prisoners.
I think this is the deal US and Russia are agreeing to:
“Crimea is ours!”: Trump is ready to recognize the peninsula as Russian
“The Trump administration is ready to recognize Crimea as Russian as part of the US proposal to end the war in Ukraine, CNN reported, citing a source.
“The main provisions of the agreement are presented to the Europeans and Ukrainians in Paris on Thursday.
The terms were also discussed with Russia in a telephone conversation between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
The proposal includes a cease-fire along the entire front line. The details of the agreement are still being clarified, and the next meeting on them will be held in London next week. Trump’s representative Steve Witkoff is also scheduled to hold talks with the Russian side.”

Zelensky needs to quit fooking around and get with the program.
He’s not going to get back what he lost and the war must end.
Zelensky’s response: I see your 30 hours and raise you 30 days.
The only question is, when will Ukraine agree to unconditional peace talks.
There is no scenario where the war ends without all annexed territory being recognized as part of Russia and until NATO leaves Ukraine.
To reload and re-kit.
And will Russia give up its maximalist goals which include: Ukraine withdrawing from the rest of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia; reduction of the Ukrainian military to a token force unable to defend against further Russian aggression; no military assistance from other countries in case of further Russian aggression; removal of the democratically elected government in favor of an imposed pro-Russian one; elimination of expressions of Ukrainian nationalism; and elevation of Russian language, history, and culture to an equal status as that of Ukrainian? In case any one has not been paying attention, these are also Russian demands that up to now Putin has said are non-negotiable.
It already has. It has been Putin who has been refusing to do so.
I hope that the Easter truce is a hopeful sign and can be built upon in the near future.
Ya got that backwards Sparky.
🤡
Tell the Little Green Goblin to leave Ukraine 😄🐸
And he’s not going to get any more multi-billion, unaudited infusions of our taxpayer dollars. I think he’s having a very difficult time accepting that. He became quite accustomed to getting that every time he demanded it.
According to The Dwarf Dictator, Zelensky, peace with Russia is impossible and therefor World War Three is the only option and must proceed until everyone of European heritage is dead.
The entirety of Eastern Ukraine should be ceded to Russia immediately.
Crimea will always be Russian.
Why? The majority of the population is Ukrainian. And define "Eastern Ukraine."
