Despite the headline suggesting Putin declared an Easter peace, no evidence of any such truce exists in the available information. Instead, the reality shows escalating tensions with Ukraine’s Kursk incursion capturing 1,000 sq km of Russian territory and Putin threatening a “worthy response.” Putin’s recent statements focus on military readiness, not peace efforts.
A flight ban has been implemented over King Charles’ Sandringham residence in Norfolk, UK, located about three hours from London. The restriction prohibits aircraft and drones from flying over the area—a common security measure for British royal homes that helps prevent unauthorized aerial intrusions and protects the king’s privacy. How’s that for royal personal space?
The headline suggests Putin declared an Easter ceasefire while simultaneously launching drone attacks—a classic case of saying one thing while doing another. Putin’s actions showcase his ongoing commitment to the Ukraine conflict, as he rejects peace initiatives while planning for the “Year of the Defender” in 2025. Nothing says “Happy Easter” quite like drones overhead,…
A US commentator observes that Putin has been enjoying the benefits of Trump’s conciliatory approach (eating the carrot) while avoiding any meaningful consequences (escaping the stick).

Copenhagen Police are investigating an explosion that occurred Friday night in an apartment at Urbanplanen, Amager. No injuries were reported, only property damage. Police believe it was likely a criminal act rather than an accident. Despite numerous reports of a loud “bang,” no witnesses have come forward and no arrests have been made yet.
The Vatican’s number two, Pietro Parolin, met with US Vice President JD Vance in Rome after Pope Francis criticized Trump’s migrant policies. Vance also attended Easter service at St. Peter’s, showing some religious alignment. They likely discussed Middle East and Ukraine situations, though no official details were released about their “exchange of views.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary Easter ceasefire in the Ukraine war from Saturday evening until midnight on April 21st. The Kremlin claims this is for humanitarian reasons, though Putin warns Russian forces remain ready to respond to any Ukrainian violations. Danish expert Flemming Splidsboel dismisses it as a meaningless gesture.
In Vig, Denmark, four teenagers aged 15-16 were caught speeding on mopeds during a police check. One moped was so outrageously fast it actually broke the speed measuring device, which maxed out at 86 km/h before shutting down. Police suspect the speed demon might have reached nearly 100 km/h—apparently these kids never heard of speed…
Four Danish teens face charges after speeding on mopeds in Vig. One rider’s velocity was so extreme it overwhelmed the measuring device, which shut down at 86 km/h. Police believe the actual speed approached 100 km/h—far exceeding legal limits for these not-so-modest mopeds.
Russian forces recaptured the village of Olesjnja in western Kursk on April 19, 2025—the second-to-last village Russia needed to retake in the region. This follows earlier recaptures of Viktorovka, Nikolaevka, and Staraya Sorochina, pushing back Ukrainian troops and highlighting the ongoing intensity of military operations.
