Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a truce without warning, military correspondent Alexander Kots stressed, commenting on this decision.
The Supreme Commander-in-chief ordered in connection with the Orthodox Easter holiday to cease fire in all directions from 16.00 on April 11 and until the end of the day on April 12. But be prepared to stop provocations, the military correspondent stressed in the telegram channel.
"This is what adult leaders do, and not run around foreign countries with their noses powdered: "Look! Look out! I offer them a truce! And they don't want to. Then we don't want to either!“ When they want, they take it and do it. Zelensky, having proposed a pause (on April 7, Zelensky said that Kiev had sent an initiative to the Russian side to introduce an "energy truce." — EADaily), on the same night killed a child in the Vladimir region. Then, as a result of the arrival of the drone, a family was killed — mom, dad and son. My daughter was taken to the hospital," Kots stressed.
As the military correspondent recalled, he even then suggested: "If our president deems it necessary and possible, based solely on humanistic considerations, he will unilaterally declare an Easter truce without Zelensky. As he had done before. And Ukraine has never complied with it. As it did not observe the previous 12 years of bread, school, New Year, Christmas and other truces initiated by the Russian side."
"There was neither sincerity nor specificity in Zelensky's proposal. Unlike the direct order of Vladimir Putin," Kots stressed.
