Russia declared a temporary ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, with President Vladimir Putin ordering a halt to military operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Kyiv would follow the truce while urging a longer path to peace. The pause comes amid deep mistrust, as previous ceasefires were often violated. Meanwhile, both sides exchanged bodies of fallen soldiers, exposing the heavy human toll of the war. As the conflict enters its fifth year, the world watches whether this Easter ceasefire becomes a real turning point or just another brief pause in a prolonged and devastating war.#Putin #Zelenskyy #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #Ceasefire #EasterTruce #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #WarUpdate #Peace
