Putin’s Easter truce: Cause for scepticism or chance for peace?

Last month the Trump administration proposed the idea of a 30-day comprehensive ceasefire.
Ukraine agreed. Russia did not. Or rather, it came up with a long list of conditions.
Instead of 30 days, the Kremlin decided on 30 hours. On Saturday, President Vladimir Putin announced a unilateral Easter truce in Ukraine until midnight Sunday night in Moscow.
He said he was acting out of “humanitarian” considerations.
Such a claim has been met with scepticism in Ukraine more than three years into Russia’s war against the country.
