In a significant development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared a 32-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, a move met with skepticism from Ukrainian officials. The truce, which is set to begin this weekend, comes as both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to engage in a prisoner exchange, with 182 Ukrainians set to return home in the process. Despite the announcement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and military leaders remain doubtful about the effectiveness of the ceasefire, citing fears that Russia may not uphold its commitments. The ceasefire follows weeks of proposed negotiations and drone strikes between the two nations. Analysts note that while the ceasefire may temporarily reduce hostilities, lasting peace remains uncertain.
