Russian forces attacked an ambulance on Easter night, wounding three medics, Sumy regional governor Oleh Hryhorov said on Apr. 12.

According to him, a Russian drone struck a medical transport vehicle in the Hlukhiv community. The injured medics received assistance and their lives are not in danger.

On April 11, at about 3:30 p.m. — half an hour before the “Easter ceasefire” announced by Vladimir Putin — Russian forces attacked a trolleybus in Kherson’s Korabelnyi district with a drone, seriously injuring the driver. He later died in hospital.

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

In response, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine is ready for reciprocal steps during the ceasefire and that Russia “has a chance not to return to strikes after Easter.”

On April 11, Zelenskyy said he and Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi had defined the course of action for Ukrainian units under a ceasefire by the Russian army. He also proposed extending the ceasefire beyond Easter.
