Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia is not keeping the ceasefire that President Vladimir Putin has declared.



Zelenskyy spoke about the ceasefire on social media on Sunday.



The Ukrainian President said his country continued to come under Russian attacks in the first six hours of the truce that Russia insists it called.



He said there were 387 instances of shelling and 19 assaults by Russian forces. He said drones were used by Russia 290 times.



Zelenskyy said, "we can state that the Russian army is attempting to create the general impression of a ceasefire, while in some areas still continuing isolated attempts to advance and inflict losses on Ukraine."





Putin announced Easter ceasefire



Russian President Putin had declared an Easter ceasefire from Saturday at 6 p.m. Moscow time, until the end of Sunday.



Putin announced the decision during a meeting with the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov. The president says he is ordering a stop to all military activities, "based on humanitarian considerations."



Putin says he assumes Ukraine will follow Russia's lead, and called for the Ukrainian side to temporarily stop fighting. The Russian side says the country will continue the ceasefire provided it is mutually respected by Ukraine.



President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has posted on social media that "Ukraine will act accordingly--mirroring Russia's actions," indicating that his country will respond if Russia stops fighting.



Zelenskyy proposed to extend the ceasefire after Easter, saying that 30 hours is not enough for "genuine confidence-building measures."



The ceasefire proposal by Putin comes after US President Donald Trump indicated the possibility that the US may "take a pass" and walk away from the negotiating table.



Putin had also declared a 36-hour ceasefire in January 2023, in honor of Orthodox Christmas, but fighting continued.
