The war in Ukraine, now grinding into its fourth year, saw another diplomatic setback as Russia declared it had not received a “clear” proposal from Kyiv for an Easter ceasefire. Le Monde reported that the claim came as Ukrainian forces near the besieged city of Pokrovsk continued to hold defensive positions. The rejection dims hopes for even a temporary pause in fighting during the Orthodox Easter period — a moment that, in past conflicts, has occasionally provided space for humanitarian relief.
