⚡️Russia announces Easter truce. What does that mean
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from the Facebook page of Russian military field correspondent Aleksandr Kots.

Putin in the Kremlin heard a report by the Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov on the situation on the frontline of combat contact and said that the Russian side was suspending all military activities from 18:00 on April 19 to 00:00 on April 21.

"Guided by humanitarian reasons, today from 18 o'clock to zero o'clock from Sunday to Monday the Russian side declares an Easter truce. I order for this period to stop all fighting.

We assume that the Ukrainian side will follow our example. "In this way, our troops must be prepared to reflect on possible violations of the truce and provocation by the enemy, any aggressive actions."

Following the energy moratorium, we demonstrate the ability to ceasefire across the entire line of contact. Leaving behind the right to respond to the provocation of the opponent.

That is, in essence, we demonstrate good will and a desire for peace. In fact, it is obvious that Khokhly will not adhere to any truce. Therefore, we will, as before, starve them. But already within the response to the violation of the truce.

I have no doubt that the list of ceasefire violations will be on the table in the Oval Office again. Zelensky is unable to saddle up the truce. The Muscovites outplayed again.

#1 It means the Russians needed to move ammunition forward.

#2 It means Ukrainians are going to break the truce - giving the faction "Khokhols are NOT our brothers! Let pulverize them." more ability to act.
