Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of trying to create an 'impression of a ceasefire,' saying Russian forces continued attacks after President Vladimir Putin's declaration of an Easter truce.

Ukraine said it has recorded hundreds of instances of Russian shelling since Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a brief Easter ceasefire in his war with Ukraine on Saturday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary truce in Ukraine, according to Russian media reports. This comes after Trump said the US will “take a pass” on brokering further Russia-Ukraine talks if either make it “very difficult” to reach a peace deal.
