Despite President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a temporary halt in hostilities (you can read more about Putin declaring Easter ceasefire in Ukraine here), Zelensky pointed out that the Russian army was continuing to target Ukrainian forces along the front line.
According to Zelensky, numerous attacks occurred even after the official ceasefire was meant to begin. While Ukraine remains open to extending the ceasefire, Zelensky warned that if Russia persists in its offensive, Ukraine would mirror its actions.
