Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine to coincide with the Easter holiday, halting military operations from Saturday evening until midnight on Easter Sunday. The move comes as Russian forces claim to have pushed Ukrainian troops out of one of their last positions in Russia’s Kursk region. Putin has called on Kyiv to demonstrate goodwill during the 30-hour truce but warned Russian forces to remain vigilant for potential violations. The ceasefire announcement follows recent tensions and diplomatic developments involving the US, Ukraine, and Russia. This pause in fighting is seen as a rare gesture in the ongoing three-year conflict.
