President Zelensky spoke about the attack of Russian drones before the 'Easter truce'

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported on the attack of Russian drones, which occurred just minutes before the start of the 'Easter truce' announced by Volodymyr Putin.

Zelensky wrote on social networks that at 17:15, 45 minutes before the announced 'truce', an air raid alert was declared across Ukraine due to the appearance of Russian drones in the airspace.

The president emphasized the cynicism of the Russian side and its attitude towards Easter and the lives of people.

Zelensky also reported on the successes of the Ukrainian military on Russian territory. In particular, in the Kursk region, Ukrainian forces continue active operations and hold captured positions, and in the Belgorod region, they have managed to increase the area of Ukrainian control.

Volodymyr Putin announced an 'Easter truce' that was supposed to begin at 18:00 on April 19 and last until 00:00 on April 21. He expressed hope that the Ukrainian side would cease hostilities during this period. However, the attack by Russian drones before the start of the 'truce' showed their true intentions and manipulative nature.
