According to AFP, a Kremlin statement indicated that based on the decision of Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin, in response to the upcoming Orthodox Easter celebrations, "a ceasefire is declared starting from 16:00 (13:00 GMT) on April 11, ending on the day of April 12, 2026."
At the same time, informed sources told Reuters that Putin's envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, is currently in the United States meeting with members of President Donald Trump's administration to discuss a Ukraine peace agreement and US-Russia economic cooperation.
This visit comes just as the US is about to decide whether to extend the sanction waivers on Russian oil, which expire on the 11th, and this is likely one of the topics being discussed. (Translated by Yang Zhaoyan) 1150410
