Putin Announces Temporary Cease-Fire for Easter in Ukraine
April 20, 2025 - 04:25
In a recent statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a temporary cease-fire in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The cease-fire is set to begin at 6 p.m. Moscow time on Saturday and will last until midnight on Monday. This announcement coincides with the Easter holiday, a significant time for many Christians around the world.
The decision to halt military operations aims to allow for a brief respite amid the ongoing conflict, providing an opportunity for civilians to observe the holiday in peace. The cease-fire is expected to facilitate humanitarian efforts and enable the safe passage of those wishing to travel or seek refuge during this time.
While the move has been met with cautious optimism, the situation in Ukraine remains tense, and the long-term implications of this cease-fire are yet to be determined. As the world watches closely, many hope that this gesture could pave the way for future negotiations and a resolution to the conflict.
