This week, battles continued to rage along the front lines. Ukraine keeps striking oil refineries and military sites deep inside Russia with the attacks becoming increasingly painful for Moscow. At the same time, Russia has largely stepped up its aerial terror of near-front areas and strikes against civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s long-range strikes against Russian oil infrastructure expose inefficiency of Russia\u2019s air defenses, the Institute for the Study of War said early in the week. Russian milbloggers continued to criticize the ineffectiveness of Russian air defense systems, citing air defense solutions used by Ukraine as an example. A drone strike by Ukraine\u2019s defense intelligence on Monday disabled Russia\u2019s last railway ferry in the Kerch Strait. NORSI, Russia’s fourth-largest oil refinery, suspended operations on April 5 following a Ukrainian \u200bdrone attack, Reuters said Tuesday. Ukraine launched more cross-border attack drones than Russia in a one-month period for the first time since the invasion, ABC News said, relying on daily data published by the Ukrainian Air Force and Russian Ministry of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia stepped up its aerial attacks against civilians, a trend clearly visible as it struck the regions of Dnipro, Chernihiv and Kherson in a few days\u2019 span. City markets, buses, civilian infrastructure sites and trains are frequent targets of Russian attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine continues to develop relations with the countries in the Middle East. Ukrainian military experts will continue to work there after a U.S.-Iran ceasefire was announced, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to media reports, the Trump administration is expected to keep waiving Russian oil sanctions. The U.S. is ignoring evidence that Russia is helping Iran because it trusts Putin, Zelenskyi said in an interview this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putin announces 32-hour Easter ceasefire with Ukraine.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has declared a 32-hour Easter ceasefire in Ukraine. His decree, released by the Kremlin on Thursday, orders Russian forces to observe a ceasefire starting on 4 p.m. local time on Saturday, April 11 and lasting until the end of Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kremlin said it assumed that \u201cthe Ukrainian side will follow the example of the Russian Federation.\u201d Putin also ordered his forces to be ready to intercept \u201cpossible enemy provocations\u201d and any \u201caggressive actions.\u201d Orthodox Easter falls this year on April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi had for more than a week proposed an Easter ceasefire. He also said Monday that he stood by a proposal made to Russia for \u200ba ceasefire contingent on Moscow halting all attacks \u200con energy infrastructure. \u201cUkraine has repeatedly stated that we are ready for symmetrical steps. We proposed a ceasefire during the Easter holidays this year and will act accordingly,\u201d Zelenskyi said in a post to X on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on March 31 that Moscow had not seen a \u201cclearly formulated\u201d initiative from Zelenskyi regarding an Easter truce, dismissing the proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
