"There have been alarm sirens in Kiev and another cities. Ballistic threat," said erstwhile Ambassador of Ukraine to Austria Alexander Szczerba just before 21 Polish time on Saturday.
"At the moment, raids are heard over Kiev. This is the second time since Russia announced a ceasefire for Easter," wrote Berlin head of think-tank European Centre for Initiatives for the opposition of Sergei Sumlenny.
"Scitational alerts in Kiev, if individual were to be fooled that Putin was honest about his Easter truce," said British-Liban writer Oz Katerji.
Russia did not halt firing on Ukraine. Vladimir Putin had previously announced a truce
The Russians are inactive firing in all directions as before. Above all, in the east — stated the head of the Ukrainian government's Anti-Disinformation Center Andrij Kułenko an hr and a half after the Easter truce announced by Vladimir Putin. “This is simply a trivial, typical Russian tactic,” said a typical of the Ukrainian administration, recalling Moscow’s “vigilous truce” in 2023, which later violated itself.
Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday that the Easter truce would start at 18 p.m. (17 p.m. Polish time) and last for 30 hours. “The consequence to this will show how sincere Kiev’s ability and willingness to participate in peace talks are,” stated the Russian leader.
"As for Putin's next effort to play with human life, raids are now spreading in Ukraine. At 5:15 p.m. (16.15 in Poland) Russian assault drones were detected in our sky" — wrote the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski a fewer minutes before the “zero hour” set by Putin.
