Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared a 32-hour ceasefire with Ukraine for the Orthodox Easter holiday, following an earlier offer from Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky for a pause in hostilities.

Moscow condemned Israel’s airstrikes on Beirut, which killed over 180 people on Wednesday, and warned that such aggressive actions “threaten to derail the emerging negotiation process,” according to a statement by the Russian foreign ministry on social media.
