According to TASS, the Kremlin announced on April 9 that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the ceasefire for the Easter holiday. Vladimir Zelensky later said Ukraine was ready to act in a reciprocal manner.
However, on April 12, Russia’s Defense Ministry said that the Ukrainian army had carried out three overnight attacks on Russian forces near Gai and Otradnoye in the Dnepropetrovsk Region in violation of the ceasefire. The attacks were repelled. Russian forces also thwarted four Ukrainian attempts to take up positions in the Sumy Region and in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
From 4:00 p.m. Moscow time, or 1:00 p.m. GMT, on April 11 until 8:00 a.m. Moscow time, or 5:00 a.m. GMT, on April 12, a total of 1,971 ceasefire violations by Ukrainian troops were recorded, the ministry added.
