Residents of Kyiv erred on the side of caution on Saturday after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a one-day ceasefire in Ukraine. « It will be cautiously observed », said FRANCE 24’s Emmanuelle Chaze reporting live from the ground. « Let’s not forget that on the US proposal, Ukraine had agreed to a temporary ceasefire provided that Russia would also agree, » she added. « But Russia didn’t want to abandon any of its own conditions for peace ».
