Putin announces a 30-hour ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian war! Can Bitcoin rise above $85,000?

After US President Trump spoke on Friday that if there is no progress in the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks and the United States will give up pushing negotiations between the two countries, Russian President Putin suddenly announced on Saturday that the Ukrainian war has entered Easter truce, and all military operations will cease from 6 p.m. Moscow time on Saturday to midnight on Sunday.

"Based on humanitarian considerations... Russia announced an Easter ceasefire. I ordered that all military operations be stopped during this period. We assume that Ukraine will follow our approach. At the same time, our army must be ready to counter the ceasefire violations and provokes the enemy's troops, or any aggression actions."

Ukraine proposes to extend ceasefire to 30 days

In response, Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed his agreement to comply, but accused the Russian army of not ceasefire. He proposed to extend the ceasefire to 30 days and extend the truce between Russia and Ukraine until after Easter on April 20: If Russia is suddenly ready to truly take a complete and unconditional truce, Ukraine will take corresponding actions... If a comprehensive ceasefire is really achieved, Ukraine proposes to extend the ceasefire period after Easter on April 20, which will expose Russia's true intentions, because 30 hours are enough to make headlines, but not enough to truly build trust measures, and 30 days can give peace a chance... The Russian army's assault operations on multiple fronts are still continuing, and the Russian artillery fire has not yet weakened, so Russia's remarks are unreliable. We are very clear about how Moscow is manipulating, we are ready to deal with everything, and the Ukrainian Defense Force will take reasonable actions for tooth. Every attack from Russia is responded appropriately.

Ukraine accepted a 30-day ceasefire proposal proposed by US President Trump last month, but after Russia refused, the two sides only agreed to stop attacking energy facilities and maritime operations to a limited extent, and also accused each other of violating the agreement.

Putin has unilaterally announced a ceasefire many times in the past, but almost no effect was achieved. In January 2023, he proposed a 36-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Christmas, but was rejected by Kiev at that time. The effect of this ceasefire proposal remains to be seen.

Bitcoin rose above $85,000
