Expiation for Deliberate Fasting Break in Ramadan

Question
Is there a difference in performing the expiation for deliberately breaking the fast in Ramadan between someone who broke the fast for one day and someone who broke the fast for the entire month of Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with Allah's success: A expiation is required for anyone who deliberately breaks their fast during Ramadan, by fasting for sixty days. If they are unable to do so, they must feed sixty needy people. This applies equally to anyone who breaks their fast for one day or more; because they have violated the sanctity of the month of Ramadan. However, anyone who breaks their fast for one day must make up for one day, and anyone who breaks their fast for the entire month must make up for the month along with the expiation. And Allah knows best.
