Russia strikes Ukraine amid Easter ceasefire talks

Russian attacks killed two people in Ukraine and hurt three others today. Officials said both countries are talking about exchanging prisoners for Easter.

Prisoner exchanges are a good thing in difficult talks. But these talks have not stopped the war, which is now in its fifth year.

President Zelenskyy wanted a ceasefire for the Easter holiday. Russia said it wants lasting peace, not just a short break from fighting.

Last Easter, Russia declared a ceasefire for 30 hours. But each country said the other broke the agreement.

Strikes in different cities like Synelnykove and Kharkiv caused damage and injuries. One attack in Chernihiv killed a person and hurt a young girl.
