Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of violating an Easter truce declared by President Vladimir Putin. The cease-fire, announced as lasting 30 hours, appeared to be a gambit by Putin to show the U.S. that Russia was serious about peace. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said that Russian troops had fired artillery, ambushed troops, and used drones, while Russia's defense ministry said that its forces had observed the truce and accused Ukraine of violating it with drones and nighttime attacks.
