Teacher: Putin stages gesture of goodwill for Trump in Easter truce
In practice, this is a way for him to try to show Trump that he is a cordary guy who has not waited for the first minute and plays with this cultural ideas, with the history of Easter, talking about an Easter truce. I think Putin, with this, shows that he is in charge of this discussion.

In a statement, Putin said that “from 6 pm today (local time) to midnight on Sunday (to Monday), Russia announces Easter truce. I order that all military actions will be interrupted during this period,” stating that Ukraine will “follow the example”.
Professor Beto Vasques said that, so far, Vladmir Putin got everything he wanted.
He got Trump to be on his side in this Ukraine war, managed to demoralize the European Union, got the Atlantism that organized the NATO of the Atlantic Alliance between Europe and the United States.
Through Trump, he managed to turn Zelensky into a creature without political strength. And then he watched with peace of mind, as he said himself, Trump going up to Xi Jinping on the tariff issue.
Putin is managing time, and in the meantime he knows how to do the cultural war very well, the hybrid war. This Easter truce is now trying to tell Trump: ‘I am once again gesturing goodwill, let’s see if Zelensky will be able to do the same.’
