Easter Ceasefire, Hungary's Crossroads, Lufthansa Grounded

Ukraine and Russia agree their first theatre-wide ceasefire since the full-scale invasion — a 32-hour pause for Orthodox Easter, as Defence Secretary Healey warns Putin directly over undersea cable threats. Hungary heads to the polls in the tightest election of the Orbán era, with MEPs raising alarms about Russian meddling and JD Vance wading into the campaign. Lufthansa cabin crew walk out in their third major strike this year, cascading disruption through European hubs — and catching plenty of British travellers mid-connection. And Lidl pushes deeper into Britain — opening 50 new stores, creating nearly 2,000 jobs, and building a pub in Belfast.
