"In connection with the approach of the Orthodox holiday of Easter (Holy Resurrection of Christ), a ceasefire is declared from 16:00 on April 11 until the end of the day on April 12," the Kremlin announced. Russia assumes that the Ukrainian side will follow its example. Units have been ordered to remain ready to respond to possible "hostile provocations." Russia launched an aggression against Ukraine in 2022, and numerous attempts to achieve peace since then have yielded no results. The fiercest fighting is taking place in eastern Ukraine in the Donbas region.
