Overview
- Russia announced Thursday a ceasefire running from 4 p.m. Moscow time on April 11 to the end of April 12.
- Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that Kyiv will act in line with the holiday truce.
- The Kremlin ordered forces to halt combat in all directions during the pause but told troops to stay ready to repel any provocations.
- Hours after the decree, the Dnipropetrovsk governor reported drone and artillery attacks that killed two people.
- Last year’s Easter pause collapsed within hours, and stalled US-led talks leave little confidence that this short truce will hold.
