Russia-Ukraine Easter Truce Expires

The brief lull in major air and missile strikes for the Easter holiday has ended, with hostilities resuming at full intensity across the conflict zone.

Ukraine's defense ministry accused Russian forces of nearly 2,300 breaches, including the alleged execution of four prisoners of war.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin claimed that Kyiv utilized the pause to regroup and launch its own shelling attacks.

The failure of the truce underscores the deep-seated mistrust between the warring nations as the conflict enters its fifth year.
