Kremlin: Putin did not order an extension of the ceasefire

AUTHOR:M.J. GDNUS

Russian President Vladimir Putin has not issued an order to extend the Easter ceasefire in Ukraine, TASS reported, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

The ceasefire declared by Putin on Saturday expires at midnight Moscow time (21:00 GMT on Sunday).

Putin declared a unilateral Easter ceasefire in Ukraine, ordering his forces to cease all hostilities on Saturday and Sunday, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the move a “game with human lives.”

Putin ordered a halt to all hostilities from 6 p.m. Moscow time on Saturday until the end of the day on Sunday.

“A new attempt by Putin to play with human lives,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

He accused Russia of continuing attacks overnight despite the unilateral declaration of a ceasefire, while the Russian Defense Ministry announced that Ukraine had violated the ceasefire more than a thousand times.
