(Reuters) - Ukraine's forces reported 2,935 violations of Russia's own Easter ceasefire vow, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said early on Monday.

"The nature of Ukrainian actions will continue to be mirrored: we will respond to silence with silence, our strikes will be to protect against Russian strikes," Zelenskiy said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
