Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an Easter message emphasizing unity and faith amidst ongoing conflict with Russia, who he accused of breaching a ceasefire declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite the ceasefire announcement, Ukraine experienced multiple shelling attacks and assaults. Both countries traded allegations of violations, with a glimmer of hope seen in a recent exchange of 246 soldiers on each side, facilitated by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The prisoner swap brought a moment of relief in the midst of the tense situation between Ukraine and Russia.
