A temporary truce declared by Russia and Ukraine to mark Orthodox Easter expired on Monday, April 13, after lasting just 32 hours — from 4:00 p.m. local time on Saturday, April 11, through the end of Sunday, April 12. Both sides traded accusations of thousands of ceasefire violations during the pause, even as Russian aerial bombardment largely subsided. The short-lived halt underscores the deep mistrust between the two warring parties and the fragility of any diplomatic gestures amid the ongoing conflict.
