Good evening. I'm John Yang. Tonight, Russia and Ukraine are blaming each other for breaking the one-day

Easter ceasefire that Russian President Vladimir Putin had declared. Ukrainian president, Volodomar

Zelensky, said Russia never ceased firing and attacks continued after Putin's announcement.

Russia said it was Ukraine that broke the truce, shooting at Russian positions and launching drone attacks, killing civilians.

Today, the State Department said the United States is committed to achieving a full and comprehensive ceasefire.

William Taylor is a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center.

He was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine under George W. Bush and the temporary

head of mission there in the first administration of President Trump later testifying in his

impeachment. So this ceasefire that one side declares and ends up, this devolves into this

finger pointing. What do you make of this? They're probably not serious, John. That is Putin was not serious.

He's declared ceasefires before and violated them.

Zelensky said 30 hours ceasefire?

No, 30 days ceasefire.

Zelensky said if we want a serious ceasefire, do the ceasefire that President Trump and

President Zelensky agreed on a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire, air, land, and sea.

And if you're serious, Mr. Putin, go for that kind of a ceasefire.

This past week, U.S. officials, Secretary of State, the president sounded like their

patience may be running out. Here's what President Trump said on Friday. If for some reason,

one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say you're foolish,

you're fools, you're horrible people, and we're going to just take a pass.

But hopefully we won't have to do that.

Is this part of the bargaining, or are they serious about walking away?
