Russian President Vladimir Putin [announces an "Easter truce’’ in Ukraine according to reports
-
Putin says there will be a temporary end to hostilities from 18:00 Moscow time (16:00 BST) today until midnight on 21 April (22:00 BST)
-
Putin adds he assumes Ukraine will follow the truce and [Russian troops are ready to repel any possible violations
-
It is unclear whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accepted the terms of the truce
-
This comes after US President Donald Trump threatened to “pass” on Ukraine peace talks if no progress was made on a deal
“Guided by humanitarian considerations, today from 18:00 00:00 from Sunday to Monday, the Russian side declares an Easter truce. I order that all military actions be stopped for this period.”
Fuck this guy and his ‘humanitarian considerations’ 3 years after invading his neighour, killing its people and stealing its childen - he finally deigns to give a whole 2 days reprieve (likely to be broken) because he’s finally felt a teeney bit of pressure from t’old Donald.
He used “humanitarian truces” to trick and kill Ukrainians before.
The only reason why he does it is because he sees it as an occasion to gain an advantage somehow.
No-one can ever trust Putin ever again.
You guys will literally read “Russia will stop fighting” and complain
Mass murderer says he’ll stop murdering for 2 days - yay let’s celebrate!!! What a guy that Vova is 🥰

You might want to re-read the comment you replied to.
They’re not complaining about Putin stopping the killing temporarily (or at least his claims of such). They’re complaining that he’s acting like he’s doing some sort of humanitarian good in doing so.
You will literally read the same and believe it…🙄
Apparently, they already broke the ceasefire
because they won’t.
Because he never even stopped.

He is completely untrustworthy.
translation: “don’t shoot! we need to resupply”
Translation: “we’re dangerously low on supplies in a bunch of areas and we need to rush some logistics in without Ukraine blowing them up”
I genuinely do hope Zelenskyy completely ignores this unilaterally-declared truce
Narrator: “They didn’t stop the hostilities. In fact, they started a major offensive.”
How many hours until Russia blame Ukraine for breaking the truce without providing any proof?
Reportedly they are already attacking Kherson and elsewhere.
Yup, that was quick. Could’ve guessed it was a sham.
Guess we’re skipping Easter this year. Fuck that guy.
Pascha is next weekend though…
Hopefully this is some progress towards peace talks.
