The Russian president noted that initially Ukraine issued a statement dismissing the proposal "as a game with people’s lives"
MOSCOW, April 21. /TASS/. Kiev initially rejected Russia's proposal for an Easter truce, but later reversed its stance following apparent external influence, President Vladimir Putin told reporters.
"We all saw the initial response – they issued a statement dismissing our proposal as a game with people’s lives and similar rhetoric," Putin said. "However, it seems that someone smarter – most likely foreign handlers – advised that rejecting such initiatives would be politically disadvantageous for the Kiev regime, and they promptly changed their position," the Russian president emphasized.
Tis a small start.
Truces usually start of poorly. Unless the soldiers have initiated them on their own volition.
Lets declare a mulligan and get both sides to stage a second cease fire.
Maybe The Donald made a few phone calls. Him or M. Rubio.
Ceasefire ended hours ago.
Combat resumes.
Putie propaganda.

-- Russian forces launched aerial attacks targeting cities across southeastern and central Ukraine overnight, including the capital, Kyiv, Ukrainian authorities said.
At least one man was injured in Kherson by artillery fire and scores of drones and missiles were launched against Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Cherkasy and Kyiv provinces, dashing hopes that a 30-hour "Easter" cease-fire announced by Moscow on Saturday might lead to a more permanent cessation of hostilities.
The multi-pronged airborne assault from cruise missiles, two anti-radar missiles and at least 96 mainly attack drones came out of Russia's Rostov, Kursk and Bryansk regions as well as occupied Crimea and the North Caucasus, the Ukrainian Air Force said in an update on its official Telegram account.
The wave of attacks, beginning at around 2 a.m., two hours after the cease-fire expired at midnight Sunday, continued for several hours with the air force claiming 42 of the drones had been shot down...
Moscow did not immediately comment on the attacks, but the state-run TASS news agency reported that Moscow's so-called "Special Military Operation" had been restarted by Russian forces following the expiration of the cease-fire.
