Most teenagers don't spend their spring break being terrorists, but that allegedly did not stop one 19-year-old. Fox News reported Friday that federal officials in Boston, Massachusetts have arrested Own McIntire, who made his first court appearance that day for allegedly launching a Molotov cocktail at a Tesla dealership while...

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a temporary Easter ceasefire in Ukraine starting Saturday and lasting until midnight Sunday. “On humanitarian grounds, today from 6 p.m. to midnight from Sunday to Monday, the Russian side announces an Easter truce,” Putin said in a televised statement, according to CBS News. “For this period, I order to stop all fighting. We assume that the Ukrainian side will follow our example. At the same time, our troops should be prepared to reflect possible violations of the truce and provocations by the enemy, any aggressive actions,” he added.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a translated statement that the ceasefire is imposed “for humanitarian purposes and will be observed by the Russian Unified Group of Troops (forces) provided that it is mutually respected by the Kiev regime.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the announcement as “Putin’s next attempt to play with people’s lives,” saying an “air alert is now spreading across the territory of Ukraine” because of Russian drone strikes recorded in the sky at 5:15 local time. “Ukrainian air defense and aviation have already started working to protect. ‘Shaheeds’ in our sky are Putin’s true attitude to Easter and to people’s lives,” Zelenskyy said.

Silence in response to silence, defensive strikes in response to attacks. If a complete ceasefire truly takes hold, Ukraine proposes extending it beyond the Easter day of April 20. That is what will reveal Russia’s true intentions — because 30 hours is enough to make headlines, but not for genuine confidence-building measures. Thirty days could give peace a chance,” he continued. The corresponding proposal for a full and unconditional 30 days ceasefire has gone unanswered by Russia for 39 days.

The United States made this proposal, Ukraine responded positively, but Russia ignored it.

That is what will reveal Russia’s true intentions — because 30 hours is enough to make headlines, but not for genuine confidence-building measures. Thirty days could give peace a chance. As of now, according to the Commander-in-Chief reports, Russian assault operations continue on several frontline sectors, and Russian artillery fire has not subsided. Therefore, there is no trust in words coming from Moscow. We know all too well how Moscow manipulates, and we are prepared for anything. Ukraine’s Defense Forces will act rationally — responding in kind. Every Russian strike will be met with an appropriate response. I expect detailed updates at 21:30 and 22:00 from Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi following his conversations with brigade commanders and other units on the front lines regarding the situation in specific directions. WATCH: Russia claims to have regained control over 99% of the territory in the Kursk region previously seized by Ukraine Amid this military development, President Vladimir Putin has announced an "Easter truce," declaring a ceasefire until Monday.@Mohammed11Saleh reports pic.twitter.com/6dIT3hZGTj — WION (@WIONews) April 19, 2025 From the Associated Press: In response to the ceasefire announcement, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Kyiv had in March “agreed unconditionally to the U.S. proposal of a full interim ceasefire for 30 days,” which Russia rejected. “Putin has now made statements about his alleged readiness for a ceasefire. 30 hours instead of 30 days,” Sybiha continued, writing on X. “Unfortunately, we have had a long history of his statements not matching his actions.” The two sides meanwhile exchanged hundreds of POWs on Saturday. Russia’s Ministry of Defense said that 246 Russian service members were returned from territory controlled by Kyiv, and that “as a gesture of goodwill” 31 wounded Ukrainian POWs were transferred in exchange for 15 wounded Russian soldiers in need of urgent medical care. Zelenskyy said that 277 Ukrainian “warriors” have returned home from Russian captivity. Both sides thanked the United Arab Emirates for their mediation. Putin’s ceasefire announcement came after U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said negotiations between Ukraine and Russia are “coming to a head” and insisted that neither side is “playing” him in his push to end the grinding three-year war. Trump spoke shortly after Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the U.S. may “move on” from trying to secure a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if there is no progress in the coming days, after months of efforts have failed to bring an end to the fighting.

Never before have we seen a sitting President speak so openly and so reverently not just about “God” but about Jesus Christ. Hillary and Barack called us “Easter Worshippers”. President Trump honors Jesus Christ. What a difference! Watch this beautiful message right here: “As we approach this joyous Easter Sunday, I want to wish Christians everywhere a happy, and beautiful, and blessed holiday. America is a nation of believers. We need God. We want God. And with His help, we will make our nation stronger…” –President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/f2jXqpobCK — The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 19, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: On Easter Sunday, we celebrate His glorious resurrection and proclaim, as Christians have done for nearly two thousand years: He is risen. Through the pain and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we saw God’s boundless love and devotion to all humanity. And in that moment of His resurrection, history was forever changed with the promise of everlasting life. As we approach this joyous Easter Sunday, I want to wish Christians everywhere a happy and beautiful and blessed holiday. America is a nation of believers. We need God. We want God. And with His help, we will make our nation stronger, safer, greater, and more prosperous—and much more united than ever before. Thank you to everyone, and have a really happy Easter!
