Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that a ceasefire would be declared during the Orthodox Easter holiday, which is now taking place.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had already appealed for a 32-hour ceasefire a week earlier.

But on Saturday evening, Ukraine said it had registered 469 violations, which it divided into: 22 military strikes, 153 instances of Russian shelling, and nearly 300 Russian drone attacks - 19 by kamikaze drones and 275 by drones that can both attack and monitor.
