On Saturday afternoon, Russian ruler Vladimir Putin surprisingly announced that attacks and fighting against Ukraine for 30 hours. But how seriously does he mean that? Not only the Ukrainian president Wolodyymr Senskyj is skeptical.
As reported, according to Putin, it started -the fire on Saturday at 5 p.m. (Moscow at 6 p.m.). It should end on Easter Sunday at 11 p.m. Putin asked the Ukrainian army to also cover the weapons. However, President Wolodyymyr Senskyj reacted skeptically. According to the Ukrainian information, the Russian armed forces fired Ukrainian positions, even after the alleged fire brigade came into effect. “Shahed -drones in our heaven exposes Putin’s true attitude towards Easter and Life,” Selenskyh criticized.
“The Russians try to pretend that they were ‘Peace Pentch’, but they already rejected an unconditional cease -the Fire on 11 March,” the head of the center remembered to combat disinformation, Andrij Kowalenko, on Telegram. “You talk about a ‘cease -the fire’, but you continue to shoot without interruption.” The aim is to blame Ukraine for the failure of peace efforts.
Observer: “We know Putin’s script”
The war only started because of Russia and only lasts because of its government, said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha. Ukraine observer Nico Lange also has his doubts about Putin’s announcement. “We know Putin’s scenario: annoying large Easter cafeine and then accused Ukraine that it would have troubled or broken the fires,” he wrote on platform X.
Here you can see a tweet of Ukraine observer Nico Lange about the current situation:
Already in January 2023, Putin had arranged a one -sided, half a day of a firefight for the Orthodox Christmas. At that time, this was interpreted by the Ukrainian government in a way that Russia wanted time for its troops.
Is it about a breath?
According to experts, there can also be a breathing space behind this time. The Russian armed forces had only conquered areas in the east of Ukraine slowly and under high losses. Moreover, the recapture of the occupied Russian border areas in Kursk offered many troops that could now be moved to other front sections.
Putin must also hope for the favor of US President Donald Trump. This only asked on Saturday that both parties should be ready to make a compromise. Otherwise he no longer strives for peace, he threatened. The US government has drastically changed its course in Ukraine policy since Trump has been president again. Among his predecessor Joe Biden, she was the greatest in favor of the land of war.
