Gate News message. On April 10, according to a Kremlin statement late on April 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would implement a ceasefire for Orthodox Easter from 16:00 to 24:00 Moscow time on April 11 to April 12 (from 21:00 on April 11 to 05:00 on April 13 Beijing time), lasting 32 hours, and called on Ukraine to follow suit. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky responded immediately, saying, “Ukraine has repeatedly stated that we are ready to take reciprocal measures. We have proposed a ceasefire during this year’s Easter holiday, and we will act accordingly.” This is a rare ceasefire window in the recent conflict where both sides publicly expressed agreement, but whether it can be carried out and whether there are additional conditions remains to be seen.
