Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this Thursday, April 9, a 32-hour ceasefire with Ukraine, between Saturday night and Sunday, in celebration of Orthodox Easter, after Kiev proposed a pause in hostilities.
“By order of the Supreme Commander, (…) V. Putin, in view of the Orthodox Easter holiday (Resurrection of Christ), a ceasefire is declared from 16:00 (14:00 mainland Portugal) on April 11th until the end of April 12th, 2026”says the Kremlin statement.
The announcement comes in the wake of a proposal made earlier this week by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a pause in attacks on each country’s energy infrastructure during Orthodox Easter.
