**Excerpt:**
*”Amid a declared 30-hour Easter ceasefire by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of continuing attacks, calling the truce a deceptive smokescreen. Zelenskiy proposed extending the pause in hostilities for a month, highlighting Ukraine’s openness to diplomacy even as fighting persists. The violation underscores the deep mistrust between the warring nations, with Ukraine reinforcing its defiance and Russia facing growing scrutiny over its tactics. As the conflict enters another year, the world watches whether fleeting ceasefires can pave the way for peace—or if the war’s entrenched dynamics will prevail.”*
