Background: The Kremlin announced that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin has declared an "Easter truce" lasting one and a half days. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine will take "symmetrical steps" in response to the "Easter truce" declared by Putin. On 11 April, Zelenskyy said he and Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have determined the parameters of the response to possible violations of the ceasefire by Russian forces. At about 16:00 on 11 April, Kremlin-aligned Russian news agencies said the "Easter truce" declared by Russia has come into effect and will last until the end of 12 April. Ukraine's General Staff has said the defence forces will observe a ceasefire on land, at sea and in the air during Orthodox Easter but will respond in kind to Russia's actions.
