A massive Russian drone wave, new UK military aid, Patriot ammo rationing, and fresh sanctions marked April 15 in the Ukraine-Russia war.
Putin and Zelenskyy agree to a brief ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, but fighting continues within hours. Ukraine reports record Russian casualties of 35,351 in March, with drones causing 96% of losses.
Four years into Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine fights on while global attention shifts to the Middle East. The numbers are staggering.
Russia's Defense Ministry announces that its forces have 'completed the liberation' of the Luhansk People's Republic, while overnight drone barrages kill two in Kherson and Ukrainian strikes hit a Russian port for the fifth time in ten days.
