There is no question of Russia laying down its arms. Not because local officers have not received or understood the order, on the whole front Russia is firing with all types of weapons on Ukrainian fronts and civilians. Russian attacks on various places on the frontline continue, and Russian artillery fire has not stopped yet either. There is no Russian ceasefire!

But if Russia is actually willing to abide by the proposed unilateral truce, so is Ukraine, Zelenskyy argues. ‘If there really is a complete ceasefire, Ukraine proposes to extend it until after Easter,’ Zelenskyy said. According to Zelenskyy, Russia's failure for the time being to accept a proposal for a longer ceasefire shows ‘Putin's true intentions’. ‘Thirty hours is enough to make headlines, but not for really confidence-building measures. In thirty days, peace could have a chance.’
