Russia Should Be Aware of Potential Ukrainian Attacks Amid Truce – Expert

Vladimir Putin declared an Easter truce and ordered all military operations to stop for the period.

However, Russian troops must be ready to repel possible violations of the truce and provocations by Kiev.

“They [Ukraine] have never gone along with anything else so I don't have high hopes," Earl Rasmussen, a retired lieutenant colonel with over 20 years in the US Army and an international consultant, tells Sputnik.

He adds that Zelensky should realize that the truce is “for his soldiers and his people”, yet Rasmussen is “concerned” about the intentions of the Kiev regime.

"I'm hesitant, and I would not let your guard down", he stressed.
