19.04.2025 ⇢ Day Putin's Easter Truce Crumbled Before Sunset
⌨
Putin's announcement of a 30-hour "Easter truce" in Ukraine dominated the day's coverage, with initial reports emerging around 2pm. By 5pm, Ukrainian sources reported Russian forces were already violating the ceasefire, and by evening, Zelensky formally declared the truce broken, saying "Russian attacks continue." This development came directly after Trump's threats yesterday to abandon Ukraine peace talks without progress.
Coverage of the Italian cable car accident that killed two British tourists expanded with victims being named and details of their retirement travels emerging. The aftermath of the UK Supreme Court's gender ruling continued with trans activists defacing a suffragette statue during protests, while Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan publicly challenged JK Rowling over her support of the ruling.
Reports on drug issues included "monkey dust" devastating a UK city and a parent's testimony about ketamine's fatal impact on their son.
