President Trump’s April 20th Easter Sunday Ceasefire Deadline – Russia-Ukraine War
President Trump has set a deadline for a ceasefire in Ukraine, aiming to end the conflict by April 20, coinciding with Easter Sunday for both Western and Eastern Christian traditions.
White House officials are engaging in separate meetings with Russian and Ukrainian representatives in Saudi Arabia to discuss a partial truce. The hope is that these discussions will pave the way for a comprehensive ceasefire, with optimism expressed by Trump’s Russian envoy, Steve Witkoff, who believes Russian President Putin desires peace.
While progress is anticipated, the Kremlin has expressed caution, emphasizing that the peace process is in its early stages. Despite recent tensions, both sides have indicated a willingness to continue dialogue, with the possibility of further communication between Putin and Trump on the horizon.
The upcoming talks in Saudi Arabia are viewed as a significant step towards potential face-to-face meetings between the leaders. Ukrainian President Zelensky has affirmed his delegation’s commitment to constructive engagement in the negotiations.
