As of 1600 on Sunday, Russia has continued to increase its use of heavy weaponry.
Ukrainian troops have been ambushed by Russian forces on the Toretsk front.
Source Zelenskyy, following a report from CommanderinChief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi Quote Unfortunately, the trend of increasing the use of heavy weaponry by Russian forces continues.
From the beginning of the day until 1600, there have been a total of 46 Russian assaults across various directions and 901 instances of shelling, 448 of which involved heavy weaponry.
More than 400 cases of FPV drone use by Russians have already been documented.
The highest level of Russian combat activity this Easter is on the Pokrovsk front.
Putins words about a ceasefire have also proven empty in Kursk Oblast, on the Siversk front and other fronts in Donetsk Oblast.
On the Toretsk front, our troops unfortunately fell into a Russian ambush.
Some servicemen have been killed.
The Russian soldiers responsible for this will be eliminated.
Details Zelenskyy stressed that the Ukrainian forces are responding and will continue to respond in a fully reciprocal manner.
The Ukrainian army is acting and will continue to act in a fully symmetrical manner.
This Easter has clearly demonstrated that the only source of this war, and the reason it drags on, is Russia.
We are ready to move toward peace and a full, unconditional, and honest ceasefire that could last for at least 30 days but there has been no response from Russia on that so far.
The situation on the frontline shows that pressure on Moscow and real oversight of the actions of the occupying forces are needed for the ceasefire to be established, the president emphasised.
