Easter truce
Part of 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
Date21–25 April 2022
Location Europe
ParticipantsSoldiers from Russia and Ukraine
OutcomeNever applied as Russia refused the proposal

The Easter truce (Russian : Пасхальное перемирие; Ukrainian : Великоднє перемир'я) was a proposed ceasefire between Russian and Ukrainian forces during 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. [1] [2] [3] It was to take place during Christian Easter – from 21 to 25 April 2022, however, this plan was never materialized as Russia refused it, despite the fact that Ukraine agreed to it. The proposal was also supported by the European Union. [4] [5] [6]

On April 19, during a press conference at the UN headquarters in New York, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres proposed a temporary truce between Russian and Ukrainian troops during the Christian Easter for "opening a series of humanitarian corridors and create the necessary conditions for the safe exit of all civilians wishing to leave the areas of confrontation" and "the delivery of vital aid to the settlements that suffered the most [from the war]". [1]

On April 20, the day after the call for a truce, it became known that the Ukrainian side agreed to Guterres' proposal. [7] Despite this, the plan remained unrealized because the Russian side, in turn, refused the truce "in order not to give the Kiev nationalists a break". [8] [9] Russia's deputy permanent representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky justified the decision to abandon the truce for Easter by saying that "this proposal is insincere and will give Ukrainian soldiers more time to regroup and receive weapons", [10] and Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that "this plan contradicts the position of the international community [on the war in Ukraine]". [11]

The Russian Navy later scuttled the Russian anti-submarine ship Ochakov and several smaller vessels in the mouth of the bay to prevent Ukrainian ships from sailing to open sea and reaching the Ukrainian fleet in Odesa. As a result, 13 Ukrainian ships were bottled up and eventually captured by Russia in Donuzlav bay. The blockade ended when the Russian Navy seized the last ship under the Ukrainian flag in Crimea, the minesweeper Cherkasy.
