Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Kremlin forces of violating a 30-hour Easter Sunday truce declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and reiterated his proposal to extend the ceasefire for another month.

He cited 59 cases of shelling and five assault actions by Russian units in various front-line areas on Sunday morning, based on a report from Armed Forces commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.
