Russia rejected the call of UN Secretary General António Guterres for a humanitarian pause over Easter, Ukraine’s ambassador to the UN Sergiy Kyslytsya announced on Twitter.

Kyiv proposed negotiations with Russia without conditions in the besieged city of Mariupol. We want to negotiate the evacuation of the Ukrainian defenders, Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to President Zelensky stated.  

After the talks in Kyiv with the President of the European Council Charles Michel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Moscow had not handed Ukraine a peace agreement. Zelensky said the Ukrainian forces didn’t have enough "serious and heavy" weapons to defeat Russia in Mariupol, and that 934 towns and villages had been liberated from the Russians.

US President Joe Biden is set to announce today a plan for sending more military aid to Ukraine, UNIAN news agency reports. The new package is expected to once again be in excess of USD 800 million.
