Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for breaking a one-day Easter ceasefire, with each side accusing the other of hundreds of attacks. President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces to stop all military activity until midnight Moscow time on Sunday, but there was no order from Putin to extend the ceasefire. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of pretending to observe the ceasefire while carrying out artillery attacks. Zelenskyy proposed that Russia abandon drone and missile strikes on civilian targets for at least 30 days. However, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that Ukraine had broken the ceasefire more than 1,000 times. The failure to observe the ceasefire highlights the challenges of achieving a lasting peace deal. Despite this, U.S. President Donald Trump remained optimistic that a deal could be reached soon. Trump and his secretary of State, Marco Rubio, warned that the U.S. would walk away from peace efforts unless there are clear signs of progress in the near future.
