Russia's President Putin ordered a 32-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, beginning Saturday afternoon and lasting through Sunday, following repeated calls for a truce from Ukraine.

Many Ukrainians, like a Kyiv-based IT specialist, expressed distrust, citing past instances of Russian misinformation and contradictory actions. The proposed truce aims to provide a temporary respite in the ongoing conflict that has devastated eastern Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022. The ceasefire is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
