Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a 32-hour ceasefire in the conflict with Ukraine, set to coincide with Orthodox Easter celebrations this weekend. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has confirmed Kyiv's intention to abide by the truce. The ceasefire is scheduled to commence on Saturday, with President Putin instructing Russian forces to halt attacks. However, Russia also stated its military is prepared to respond to any potential aggression during this period. This agreement follows previous instances where President Zelenskiy's requests for ceasefires were reportedly disregarded, and a similar truce last year was marred by mutual accusations of violations.
