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.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
