Russian forces shot four Ukrainian POWs after capturing them near Veterynarne, Kharkiv Oblast — after the truce had formally begun — while Russia accumulated 10,721 other violations across the front, Ukraine says.
The Donets-Zakharzhevskyi estate in Velykyi Burluk — a locally protected architectural monument where Hryhorii Skovoroda once stayed — was completely consumed by fire on 7 April after two direct drone strikes; no casualties were reported.
