Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a "ceasefire" to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory Day commemorating the defeat of Nazism in World War II, Russian media reported on 28 April.
Russia expects Ukraine to follow suit, according to the announcement.
Ukraine has not yet responded to this declaration.
On 19 April, the Kremlin and Putin announced an "Easter truce." However, Ukraine and Russia exchanged accusations of its violation. Ukraine accused Russian forces of nearly 3,000 violations during that period.
President Zelenskyy said that "during the period after Easter, the Russian army resumed their usual assault activity."
