More than four hundred FPV drone uses by Russians have already been recorded
The President reported that the most Russian combat activity this Easter is in the Pokrovsk direction.
Putin's words about a "ceasefire" for the Kursk region, Siversk, and other areas in Donetsk region also turned out to be empty. In the Toretsk direction, our soldiers, unfortunately, fell into a Russian ambush. There are dead. The Russian military personnel who committed this will be destroyed
The President emphasized that the Ukrainian army acts and will continue to act in a completely mirrored way.
"This Easter clearly proved that the sole source of the war and the reason for its protraction is Russia. We are ready to move towards peace and a complete, unconditional, and honest ceasefire that can last at least 30 days, but there is still no response from Russia on this matter. The situation at the front demonstrates the need for pressure on Moscow and real control over the actions of the occupation contingent in order for silence to prevail," Zelenskyy wrote.
Supplement
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that on Sunday, April 20, starting from 10 AM, an increase in the number of Russian shellings of Ukraine has been observed, despite statements by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin about an "Easter truce." Ukraine records every violation by the Russian Federation and is ready to provide partners with the relevant information.
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated that the so-called "Easter truce," announced by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, is unlikely to last, given that Russians conducted offensive operations and shellings along the front line in the very first hours.
