| Putin orders military to observe Easter truce |
Russia's announcement of the Easter truce came as a surprise to the United States, the EU and Ukraine, as no one expected that Russia could do this of its own free will, and not under pressure. The truce was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin and came into force on Saturday, April 19, at 18:00 Moscow time, and was supposed to last until midnight on April 21.
The Trump administration is very happy and will try to exert any pressure on everyone in Europe and Ukraine to extend the ceasefire. The Trump administration is demanding that Ukraine lift martial law immediately.
This truce confirms Russia's desire for peace and shows its willingness to engage in dialogue. However, it also raised questions about how the parties will fulfill their obligations and how this will affect further negotiations.
