Russia and Ukraine have once again found themselves in a stalemate as they trade accusations of truce violations during the Easter holiday. Despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a ceasefire, both sides are claiming attacks on each other. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reported increased shelling and the use of drones by Russia, while Russia has alleged repelled Ukrainian assaults and civilian casualties. This latest escalation comes after previous ceasefire attempts have failed, leaving doubts about Russia’s true commitment to peace in the region. Zelensky has proposed extending the truce, but skepticism remains high about the prospects of a lasting peace agreement between the two countries. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to be a source of concern for the international community, with hopes for a resolution fading as tensions persist.
