Kyiv, April 21, 2025: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed a 30-day suspension of Russian drone and missile strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, citing the recent Easter ceasefire as a precedent. He warned that if Russia refuses the proposal, it would signal their intent to continue destructive actions that prolong the war. Zelenskyy’s offer aims to reduce civilian suffering amidst ongoing conflict.
The proposal comes after over 2,000 violations of Russia’s self-declared Easter ceasefire, which ended without extension. Despite the truce, Russian forces continued attacks along the frontline, targeting evacuation convoys and military positions. The Ukrainian government is now awaiting a response from Russia regarding the proposed halt to airstrikes on civilian targets.
