Posting on social media, Zelenskiy said Russia was trying to create "the general impression of a ceasefire" and generating "favorable PR coverage."
Russian President Vladimir Putin was accused of violating a 36-hour ceasefire he ordered for Orthodox Easter on April 16, 2023, as fighting continued in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. Despite Putin's directive for a truce from midday Friday to midnight Saturday, Ukraine reported that Russian forces shelled the towns of Avdiivka and Chasiv Yar, with no letup in hostilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, stating that Russian forces were shelling the front-line city of Kherson and that the ceasefire was merely a ploy to regroup and resupply. The U.S. also dismissed the ceasefire as insincere, with National Security Council spokesman John Kirby calling it a cynical move by Putin to buy time and reposition his forces.
