Ukrainian and Russian officials accused each other of violating a truce that was supposed to halt the military conflict during the Easter holiday on Sunday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia's truce was, above all, aimed at showing the Trump administration its desire to continue peace talks. Though the truce was violated several times, it also led to a major prisoner exchange.

The temporary truce began at 6 p.m. local time Saturday and was to run through midnight on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
