Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine to coincide with the Easter holiday, beginning at 1800 hours on Saturday and lasting until midnight on Sunday. The ceasefire aims to provide a pause in the three-year conflict, with Putin urging Russian forces to remain vigilant and expressing hope that Ukraine will reciprocate the gesture. This announcement comes as Russia's Defense Ministry reports progress in military operations, and the international community will be observing whether the truce holds and leads to further diplomatic efforts.
