Kremlin proclaimed a temporary ceasefire, but Russian artillery fire is continuing, according to Ukrainian president
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Russian artillery fire is continuing in Ukraine despite the Kremlin’s proclamation of an Easter ceasefire.
“As of now, according to the commander-in-chief reports, Russian assault operations continue on several frontline sectors, and Russian artillery fire has not subsided,” the Ukrainian president posted on X. “Therefore, there is no trust in words coming from Moscow.”
He recalled that Russia had last month rejected a US-proposed full 30-day ceasefire and said that if Moscow agreed to “truly engage in a format of full and unconditional silence, Ukraine will act accordingly – mirroring Russia’s actions”.
Every single time Russia has announced a ceasefire since it became a nation in the 90s, that’s been so they can move their troops into better positions unhindered. Often it has been followed by a brutal attack that cares nothing about civilian or Russian casualties.
I’m sure Ukraine knows this already.
If Russia was sincere about an “easter ceasefire” those fuckers could just go home.
