Russia violates Easter ceasefire hundreds of times

Hours after the Kremlin declared a 32-hour Easter ceasefire, Russian drones continued striking Ukrainian positions, with Ukrainian forces logging 469 violations of the truce. The attacks followed deadly strikes on Odesa and Kherson that preceded the supposed pause. Ukraine's 148th Separate Artillery Brigade confirmed the ceasefire was not being observed.
