Ukraine and Russia traded accusations over breaking a 30-hour Easter truce initiated by Russian President Putin. Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed over 46 Russian assaults since Sunday, while Russia's defense ministry reported repelling Ukrainian attacks. The truce, from 16:00 BST Saturday to midnight Sunday, was intended to cease hostilities, but both sides accused each other of violating it. Zelensky called Putin's announcement a "PR exercise," while Russia maintained it upheld the ceasefire. The conflict, ongoing since February 2022, has led to devastating casualties on both sides.
