Volodymyr Zelenski said that “it from Moscow a real order must come for the Russian army to halt attacks, and if there is no specified order of silence, there is no silence."

The Ukrainian leader noted that there were no raids in Easter and that there was silence on any sections of the front.

"So it is possible – possible if Russia intends to limit the killings. Nevertheless, Ukraine maintains its proposal not to attack at least civilian infrastructure. And we look forward to a clear answer from Moscow," said Zelenski, adding that Kiev is ready “for all conversation about how to guarantee this”.

Zelenski besides announced that during meetings in Paris or London, the Ukrainian delegation would focus on ensuring that the unconditional ceasefire enters into force. “Peace comes in silence” – he added.

Saturday Vladimir Putin announced a 30-hour Easter truce, under which fighting on the front would cease, however, Kiev and Moscow accused each another of carrying out attacks.

Although Volodymyr Zelenski proposed that the ceasefire should last longer than midnight from Sunday to Monday, Russian leader did not give orders to extend the truce. Shortly thereafter, Zelenski came up with another proposal to halt attacks on civilian infrastructure "for at least 30 days, with the anticipation of extension". Putin said that the thought had to be considered.
