Ukrainian military received order for "Easter truce" cease fire - Kyiv • UNN April 19 2025

> An AFU officer told the BBC that his unit received an order to cease fire minutes after the start of Putin's "truce". They are also ordered to record violations and return fire. Recall Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced a supposed "Easter truce", which provides for a halt in hostilities on the front. According to him, it takes effect from 6 p.m. on Saturday until midnight on Sunday. [8 more hours]

Is this prelude to peace?

A report by Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi as of 12:00 a.m., following the end of Easter.

The total number of violations by the Russian army of Russia’s own ceasefire promise throughout the day reached 2,935. The highest number of shellings and assaults occurred in the Pokrovsk direction. Russia’s promise of a full ceasefire also did not apply to the Kursk direction. Overall, across the frontline, there were 96 Russian assaults, 1,882 instances of shelling on our positions, including 812 involving heavy weaponry, and over 950 instances of FPV drone use by Russian forces.

This day was not enough for Moscow to respond either to the proposal for a full 30-day ceasefire after Easter, or to the proposal to at least extend the ceasefire in the sky, refraining from missile and drone strikes on civilian infrastructure. The nature of Ukraine’s actions will remain symmetrical: ceasefire will be met with ceasefire, and Russian strikes will be met with our own in defense. Actions always speak louder than words.
