What happened

Ukrainians sceptical as Russia’s Putin orders Easter truce The Kremlin says its forces will stop fighting ‘in all directions’ for 32 hours, and Zelensky says Kyiv is willing to reciprocate Ukrainians on Friday were wary of Russia’s pledge to pause fighting…

Why it matters

The Kremlin said it had ordered a temporary truce to be in effect from Saturday afternoon until the end of Sunday, a 32-hour period during which Russia would stop fighting “in all directions”.

Common ground

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – who has repeatedly called for a ceasefire in the four-year war – said Kyiv was willing to reciprocate.
