Kiev failed to honor Easter truce – Moscow

Ukraine failed to uphold the 30-hour Easter ceasefire which expired at midnight on Monday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

She made her remarks on Sunday evening after the US State Department said it would welcome an extension of the short truce “beyond Sunday.”

“Well, the Kiev regime failed to observe it during Easter,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram. “Moreover, the [Ukrainian government] has violated the truce using American HIMARS systems,” she added.
