[Korrespondent] 22:20 Ukraine is ready for dialogue to begin a partial ceasefire with Russia, which will include a ban on long-range strikes on civilian targets. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Russia rejected not only the American proposal for a complete and unconditional ceasefire, which was made at the talks in Jeddah more than a month ago, but also yesterday's proposal to continue doing everything for silence after Easter... However, Ukraine maintains its proposal not to strike at least civilian infrastructure. And we expect a clear answer from Moscow. We are ready for any discussion on how to ensure this," Zelensky said.
21.58 Russian military are increasingly using donkeys to transport cargo to the front lines. Another video confirming the use of such "pack transport" has appeared on social networks.
The video was made by one of the invaders, who probably accidentally encountered a new, unusual vehicle on his way.
"The UAZs are gone, the Urals are gone, the boys are leading a donkey... A zoo," says the occupier and curses obscenely, commenting on what he saw.
20.57 Scouts from the Black Forest brigade discovered a launcher and loader for the Russian Buk-M2 medium-range anti-aircraft missile system.
"Only after identifying the targets did we transmit the coordinates to adjacent units, who skillfully hit us and gifted us with these fireworks," the statement said.
20:35 The issue of Ukraine's territorial integrity is not discussed with partners in the negotiations to end the war. This is contrary to the Constitution.
"All the negotiators attending meetings either in Saudi Arabia or France clearly say that the issue of Ukraine's territorial integrity is not discussed at all. And even the Constitution of Ukraine contains many prohibitions and restrictions, the media landscape is filled with them," he said, commenting on rumors that Washington might recognize Crimea as Russian.
20.19 Ukraine received another delivery of equipment from the IT coalition, financed by Luxembourg and Iceland. The total cost of the aid was almost 2 million euros.
This time, the partners handed over to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine:
- 3,288 access points of different models
- 500 routers
- 460 charging stations with solar panels
- 872 phones.
This is already the third delivery from the IT coalition in 2025.

"It's like declaring a fast between breakfast and lunch, but secretly eating sweets. We see that the attacks continue. Ukraine reports several attacks, so the ceasefire declared in this way is more of a media stunt than reality," the Czech Foreign Minister said.

There were 67 assaults in different directions, most of them in Pokrovskoe.
