Ahead of Orthodox Easter, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reiterated his offer to Russia for a mutual ceasefire on strikes against energy infrastructure, conveyed through the Americans, but indicated Russia seemed unwilling. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones reportedly attacked oil terminals in Russia, including one potentially impacting global oil supplies. In other developments, an Australian army reservist was charged with unauthorized work for the Ukrainian military, facing a potential 20-year prison sentence. A Russian ship carrying wheat, believed to have sunk after a drone attack in the Sea of Azov, was found and towed ashore, with the death toll rising to three. Finally, a former Russian governor of the Kursk region was jailed for 14 years for alleged corruption related to fortification construction.
