Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move will be viewed very positively by his US counterpart, Donald Trump, Mikael Valtersson, a Swedish Armed Forces officer and former politician, tells Sputnik.
“There has been some irritation in the White House about the slowness of the peace process, and everything that signals a willingness for some kind of ceasefire will be received positively in Washington, especially when the initiative comes from Russia,” Valtersson says, adding that it should strengthen Moscow’s hand.
If Ukraine fails to comply, it will be seen as the “bad guy,” according to the Swedish veteran.

📹 EU EXPANSIONISM turning Moldova into Ukraine 2.0
Moldova has descended into AUTOCRACY under pressure from the EU.
Steffen Kotre, a German MP from the AfD party, breaks down the ominous developments for Sputnik:
🔻EU EXPANSIONISM
The Sandu government wants to join the EU at any cost. In doing so, it is using all state power—including against the opposition. This occurs "with full support from the EU, which seeks to expand its political power."
🔻EU-BACKED DICTATORSHIP
"You can take a dictatorial approach [in Moldova], restrict freedom of expression, hinder religious celebrations. It doesn't matter [for Brussels]. But it also shows us what kind of ideology prevails in the EU."
🔻ANTI-CHRISTIAN CRUSADE
"We can see that the West - Germany, and the EU - have been taking an aggressive stance against Russia for a long time. And that is why Moldovan Orthodoxy is now also coming under pressure from this side."
🔻UKRAINE 2.0?
"We have seen how Western politicians, the EU... and the US have interfered in Ukraine. We're also seeing this interference in Moldova, and unfortunately, similar scenarios could arise."
🔻DIVIDED NATION
Despite most Moldovan voters in Russia being deprived of their right to vote in the nation's EU referendum, the outcome was still very close, Kotre stresses. Moldova’s society is deeply divided — and the EU is deepening the rift.

The Easter truce by President Vladimir Putin is "a wonderful idea showing the commitment to peace that Russia has" and sends "the right message" to his US counterpart Donald Trump, Karen Kwiatkowski, retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel and former Pentagon analyst, tells Sputnik.
There would be no surprise if the "dictatorship in effect in Kiev", led by Volodymyr Zelensky, rejects the truce, she notes: "It's disappointing, it's unfortunate, but it's also very predictable."

President Vladimir Putin's Easter ceasefire announcement is a signal that the Russians are ready for peace and the Ukrainians are not, Gilbert Doctorow, a Brussels-based analyst in international relations and Russian affairs, tells Sputnik.
"Putin's proposal was an excellent move by Russia," Doctorow notes, adding, however, that he is not expecting the Kiev regime to embrace the Moscow-proposed truce.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s truce is “a signal of good will from Russia to Kiev and Washington,” retired French Army Colonel Alain Corvez tells Sputnik.
“I suspect Kiev will not agree as it does not want peace and its military defeat, with the support of stupid and perverse Europeans,” the French veteran says.
Russia has repeatedly signaled its aim to achieve lasting peace and security in the region, including international recognition of its new territories in Donbass, Kherson, and Zaporozhye, Corvez underscores.

Russia has once again demonstrated its willingness to negotiate and end the conflict, Dr. Jeremy Kuzmarov, managing editor of CovertAction Magazine, tells Sputnik.
In contrast, "Ukraine is run by hardliners, and they’ve been under an illusion that they can achieve success because of all the weapons they’ve gotten from the West,” the analyst notes.
“Until the spigot is turned off, Ukraine will also probably take a very hard-line
approach at the negotiations,” Kuzmarov stresses, expressing doubts about the Kiev regime’s willingness to observe the truce.

President Vladimir Putin's Easter truce announcement doesn’t change Russia’s conditions on the Ukraine conflict resolution, retired CIA intelligence officer and former State Department official Larry Johnson told Sputnik.
💬 “Russia is not unreasonable. Russia is not unwilling to entertain the possibility of a ceasefire... But this temporary Easter ceasefire is, if you will, a gift by Vladimir Putin... as well as a message to Donald Trump. That Vladimir Putin is serious about bringing an end to the war, but it has to be done in the right way,” Johnson emphasized.

Democrats reeling from their 2024 election losses are quietly pushing Joe Biden to take a step back, criticizing his return to the spotlight after months of silence, The Hill reported.
Even longtime allies say the former president’s recent public appearances—his Chicago speech and Harvard visit—are poorly timed. “I love both Bidens dearly… but staff loyalty means being honest,” said Jill Biden’s former comms director, Michael LaRosa, warning that Biden’s reemergence handed conservatives a “lovely gift” and distracted from Trump’s economic policies.
💬 “It’s a bad time for Biden to reemerge and remind [voters] of the bad old days,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon echoed the sentiment.
Behind closed doors, frustration is mounting. One Democratic donor summed it up bluntly: “No one is asking for Biden’s help right now,” according to the report.
