19.04.2025 ⇢ Day of Easter Ceasefire and Historic Prisoner Exchange
⌨Morning reports indicated the Trump administration may recognize Russian control over Crimea as part of peace negotiations with Ukraine, while not discussing new aid packages. By mid-day, media reported Ukraine is "90% on board" with a US peace plan, with potential talks in London next week.
The situation shifted dramatically when Putin announced an "Easter ceasefire" from April 19-21. Zelensky dismissed it as "another attempt to play with lives," particularly as air raid sirens and explosions were reported in Kyiv shortly after the announcement.
The day's most significant development came in the afternoon with the return of 277 Ukrainian defenders from Russian captivity in a major prisoner exchange. By evening, Zelensky stated Ukraine would agree to a ceasefire if "true silence really reigns" on the frontlines, but Commander-in-Chief Syrsky reported fighting continued in some areas despite the announced truce.
