On Monday, April 21, 2025, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said fighting in Ukraine has resumed after the Easter ceasefire, adding that Moscow is ready for any peace initiatives and expects a similar attitude from Kyiv.
Russia and Ukraine accused each other of violating the Kremlin’s unilateral ceasefire and thousands of strikes during the Easter celebrations.
Putin told a state TV reporter, Pavel Zarubin, that “We always have a positive attitude towards a truce, which is why we came up with such an initiative, especially since we are talking about the bright Easter days.”
He added, “We have always talked about this, that we have a positive attitude towards any peace initiatives. We hope that representatives of the Kyiv regime will feel the same way.”
