Zelensky proposes truce extension beyond Easter, 'but we know who we are dealing with'

Volodymir Zelensky reiterates Ukraine's adherence to the Orthodox Easter ceasefire sanctioned by Vladimir Putin, which he even proposes to extend beyond tomorrow, but points out that 'we all know who we are dealing with'. "Ukraine adheres to the ceasefire and will respond symmetrically (to any violations, ed.). The absence of air, land and sea raids will mean that there will be no response from our side," he clarified in a post in which he explained that the Kiev forces "have defined the parameters of the response to violations of any kind from the Russian side".
