Russia strikes Kherson trolleybus 30 minutes before Putin’s Easter ceasefire

“An ambulance took the driver to the hospital in extremely critical condition. At this moment, doctors are fighting for his life,” Prokudin said.

Putin announced on April 9 an “Easter ceasefire” in Ukraine from 4 p.m. on April 11 until the end of April 12.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded by saying Ukraine was ready to mirror a ceasefire and that Russia “has a chance not to return to strikes after Easter.”

On April 10, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would not extend the so-called Easter ceasefire.

Ukraine’s General Staff said on April 11 that the Defense Forces would observe a ceasefire on land, at sea and in the air during the Easter holiday. But if Russian forces prepare assaults or other aggressive actions, Ukrainian troops will retain the right to open fire.
