TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian troops have painted ammunition, including grenades, in Ukrainian national colors, with many decorated to look like Easter eggs, to mark Orthodox Easter celebrations. Meanwhile, the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary unit, released around 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) back into Kyiv's hands. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff called the return of Ukrainian prisoners of war "the Great Easter Prisoner Exchange," although he did not say whether, or how many, captured Russian fighters had been returned to Moscow. The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggested Putin could use the holiday to propose a ceasefire with Kyiv in a bid to stop a planned Ukrainian counteroffensive, which was quickly dismissed by the Kremlin.
