Orthodox Easter Truce Between Russia and Ukraine Collapses Amid Accusations
A temporary truce between Russia and Ukraine, intended to coincide with Orthodox Easter, quickly fell apart as both nations accused each other of violating the ceasefire. The truce, which was supposed to last 32 hours, was agreed upon by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, reports indicate that Russia launched attacks on Ukraine, including a drone strike in Odesa that resulted in civilian casualties. Meanwhile, Russia accused Ukraine of attacking a gas station in the Kursk region, injuring civilians. Despite the breakdown of the ceasefire, both sides managed to exchange 175 prisoners of war.
