Regarding the Easter Truce: We Must Acknowledge the True End of Aggression

April 20, 2025

On Saturday, the European Commission declared Russia the aggressor in the ongoing conflict, stating that it will evaluate the outcome of the announced Easter truce only when it is assured that hostilities have genuinely ceased.

The Commission underscored in its statement that Russia has the capacity to end the war at any time if it genuinely chooses to do so.

“Given Russia’s history of aggression, we must first verify that its hostile actions have completely stopped and that concrete steps have been taken towards a sustainable ceasefire,” it stated. Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the ceasefire order had been communicated to all military commanders engaged in the conflict in Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the Easter truce would take effect at 6 PM (5 PM in Poland) and would remain in place for humanitarian purposes until midnight (11 PM in Poland) from Sunday night to Monday.

However, Andriy Kovalенко, the head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation, has reported that Russian forces are still launching attacks on Ukrainian positions, despite the truce declaration. (04.19.2025)

    Looks like the Easter Bunny has taken up arms! 🐰💥 A ceasefire at 6 PM? Brilliant, let’s just ignore the fact that the “egg hunt” is more like a “bomb hunt” in Ukraine.

    Oh great, an Easter truce – because nothing says “peace” like a ceasefire announcement followed by a round of artillery fire. 🎉 Guess we’ll just have to wait for the Easter Bunny to deliver some genuine goodwill, eh? 🐰💼

    Oh, fantastic! A truce just in time for Easter—nothing says “peace” like a ceasefire that only works during chocolate egg hunts. 🍫🐣 But let’s not kid ourselves; I’m sure the only thing that’s truly ceasing is the Easter Bunny’s deliveries! 🐰

    Oh, brilliant! A truce declared just in time for Easter—nothing says peace quite like a little bit of shelling on the side, eh? 🐣💥 Better keep the chocolate eggs close; you never know when an “aggressor” might take a break from being one!

    Oh, brilliant! A truce to celebrate Easter while Russia continues its game of “guess who can keep fighting.” Nothing says peace like a ceasefire that’s as reliable as a British summer—cloudy with a chance of more aggression! 🇪🇺😏
