Quote: "Today, we defined the parameters of our response to any potential violations of the ceasefire by the Russian army. We all understand who we are dealing with. Ukraine will adhere to the ceasefire and respond strictly in kind. The absence of Russian strikes in the air, on land and at sea will mean no response from our side.

The Ukrainian army is ready for any developments on the front line. Ukraine has repeatedly proposed various ceasefire formats to Russia, and we believe that Easter should be a time of silence and safety. A ceasefire on Easter could also become the beginning of real movement toward peace – our side has made the corresponding proposal."

Details: Zelenskyy discussed the course of action by Ukrainian units during the ceasefire with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi and also informed Russia about the possibility of extending the ceasefire beyond Easter.

Background:

• The Kremlin announced that Putin had declared an Easter truce lasting one and a half days.
• Zelenskyy stated earlier that Ukraine would respond in kind.
