Moscow: Ukraine violating ceasefire as Russia 'strictly abides' to pause in fighting We've just had a series of updates through from the Russian defence ministry. As reported in Russian state media, the ministry says that all of Moscow's military groups have "strictly abided" by the Easter ceasefire proposed yesterday by Vladimir Putin. It also says Ukraine deployed 48 drones overnight, including one in the Russian-annexed Crimea region, and that Ukrainian forces shot at Russian positions 444 times. For context: Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would respond to Putin's ceasefire accordingly and meet "silence in response with silence", but added that he would also authorise "defensive strikes in response to attacks". This morning, Ukraine's president said Russia had already gone back on its word, claiming there had been "dozens" of strikes on Ukrainian positions overnight and into the morning (see our 7.01am post).
