Easter, a major holiday for Christians, is celebrated on Sunday AFP Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday announced a surprise Easter truce in the conflict in Ukraine to last until midnight on Sunday. The short-term order to Russia's troops to halt all combat activity -- which Ukraine has not said if it will match -- comes after months of US President Donald Trump pushing both Moscow and Kyiv to agree a truce. He has so far failed to extract any major concessions from the Kremlin.
