If Ukraine allies needed evidence for Moscow’s cynicism regarding peace, or Announcement of a 30 -hour truce He gave them Easter, CNN notes in his analysis.

The announcement came only a few hours after US Secretary of State Mark Rubio and the Donald Trump They asked for a sign that the Kremlin means what he says about peace.

For Russia’s supporters, the announcement of Putin On Saturday it looked like a nod to Trump. But the sudden announcement reveals practical defects, and is likely to be used by Putin to support his false theory that Kyiv He does not want the war to stop.

It is a Logistics nightmare for Ukraine forces to suddenly stop fighting at Putin, CNN notes. The order for the short -haired truce can find some of the first line forces in the middle of hard battles, so it can take days to implement it.

It is also certain that misinformation will confuse troops about the implementation of the truce, how to report or react to violations, even what to do when it expires.

At this time it could prove that both sides can stop violence for a short time. But they are much more likely to use violations and confusion to show that their opponent is not reliable. Since yesterday afternoon, Ukrainian officials said Russian blows continued in areas of the front line.

The continuing 30 -day truce, confined to energy infrastructure, was born in conditions of full chaos. The White House announced that “energy infrastructure” was included, the Kremlin said it would stop the attacks on “energy infrastructure” immediately, and Ukraine said the truce started a week later. Its application has been immersed in disbelief and accusations for violations.

Moscow made a similar unilateral statement in January 2023, calling on a day of peace to allow Orthodox Christians to celebrate Christmas – a move that Kiev and Western leaders then rejected as a strategic cessation of military purposes.

A genuine truce requires negotiation with the opponent and preparation to implement. Yesterday’s hasty announcement seems to have been designed to calm the White House demands for a sign that Russia is willing to stop battles.

He will probably give arguments to Trump’s pro -Russian attitude. And it can also cause complications for Ukraine when it is accused of violating what Washington can consider as a gesture of goodwill by Moscow.

Ultimately, this short, possibly theoretical, possibly rhetorical and completely unilateral interruption of a three -year war is likely to harm the role of diplomacy in the coming months than to support it.
