“Russian president Vladimir Putin continues to posture as a peacemaker – even as he pushes on with Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. He struck his latest pacifist pose on Saturday, when he suddenly announced a truce for Easter, which would begin at 6pm that evening and end at midnight on Easter Sunday. ‘For this period, I order all military actions to cease,’ declared Putin. It was a grand gesture, made without the knowledge of Kyiv or indeed many within Putin’s own administration. And it proved predictably empty. Within hours of the truce supposedly beginning, Russian forces were busy violating it. … He tried, once again, to give the impression of being the peacemaker, while continuing to act as the aggressor.” (04/23/25)
