During the 'Easter truce' announced by Vladimir Putin, Russian troops are actively preparing for assaults in the Kharkiv direction. The press service of the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine reported on this threat. Enemy troops are using this 'pause' to gather forces, while Ukrainian soldiers are conducting mirror fire in response to Russian attacks. The Russian side is not using artillery but is actively employing drones for attacks. Ukrainian soldiers are implementing a defensive strategy to protect their troops and positions. Vladimir Putin announced the 'Easter truce' from April 19 to 21 but warned of possible violations of this truce. Initially, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to this truce as 'another attempt by Putin to mock people', but later stated that Ukraine would adhere to the truce and respond to the actions of the Russian Federation. However, despite statements about adherence to the truce from the Russian side, Ukrainian troops continue their assault actions and shelling. Analyzing the situation, one can conclude that Russian troops are using the Easter truce to gather forces and prepare for active assaults. Ukrainian soldiers respond to Russian attacks and maintain a defensive position. President Zelensky confirms Ukraine's readiness to comply with the truce and respond to the actions of the enemy.
