The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday indicted Russia of creating a false narrative of recognizing a ceasefire blazoned by the Russian President Vladimir Putin for Easter, pressing continued attacks on Ukrainian positions despite a temporary armistice. Zelenskyy stated that while Russia portrayed a ceasefire, Ukrainian records show 59 cases of Russian shelling, 5 assaults along the frontline and dozens of drone strikes.
“ As of Easter morning, we can say that the Russian army is trying to produce a general print of a ceasefire, but in some places, it does n't abandon individual attempts to advance and induce losses on Ukraine, ” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
The Ukrainian President further criticised Russia for its use of heavy artillery, noting that despite the ceasefire, the attacks had boosted. “ The trend of adding the use of heavy artillery by Russian forces continues. ”

In the enthralled Kherson region, Russia- backed officers also reported strikes by Ukrainian forces.
