The announcement comes amid a proposal from the United States that was presented to European leaders during secretary of state Marco Rubio's visit to Paris this week.

"Today from 1800 (1500 GMT) to midnight Sunday (2100 GMT Sunday), the Russian side announces an Easter truce," Putin said in televised comments, while speaking to Russian chief of staff Valery Gerasimov, AFP reported.

The Russian leader added that he assumed Ukraine would follow Russia's example, but told Gerasimov to ready Russian troops to repel any violations of the truce by Kyiv.
