Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday called an “Easter truce” in the war on Ukraine, claiming Moscow would stop “all military operations” until Monday in the first break from Russian hostilities since his forces invaded more than three years ago. The truce will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday and last through 12 a.m. on Monday, Putin said.

It is unclear whether Ukraine has accepted the proposal, but President Zelensky wrote on X "drones in our skies reveal Putin’s true attitude toward Easter".
