Russia Says It Recorded 6,500 Ukrainian Violations During 32-Hour Easter Truce

Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya reported that Russia recorded at least 6,500 violations of the Easter ceasefire by Ukrainian forces during its 32-hour duration. The truce, declared by President Putin from April 11-12, was immediately accused by Ukraine of being violated by Russia. Nebenzya stated Ukrainian forces shelled civilian facilities, causing civilian casualties, and emphasized that the Easter truce cannot be seen as a prelude to a prolonged ceasefire.
