For nearly the entire day, our warriors have been intercepting Russian drones. Air raid alerts were active in most regions, and more than 700 Russian drones were launched – a significant number of them “shaheds.” The interception rate over the past 24 hours has been quite high – around 90% – but, of course, it needs to be higher.

Unfortunately, there were hits, including in the Volyn, Zakarpattia, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, Cherkasy, Ivano-Frankivsk, and other regions. Recovery efforts are underway wherever needed. Energy facilities were once again among the main targets for Russians. In Lutsk, food warehouses and a Nova Poshta terminal have also been damaged. In the Poltava region and other areas, damage has been reported to residential buildings.

This is, in fact, Russia’s response to our proposal for a ceasefire during the Easter holidays. Ukraine openly made this proposal to Russia. Russia responds with “shaheds” and continues its terrorist operations against our energy sector and infrastructure.

Today, I spoke with the American team, in particular about this. Different signals are needed, and a ceasefire during Easter could be the signal that tells everyone – diplomacy can succeed. Ukraine is doing everything to support efforts toward peace.
