‘At Easter time, we ask for God’s grace to bring Ukraine peace, together with reconciliation and good fortune,’ Zelensky said in his address to Ukrainians.
This year’s Orthodox Easter also marks two months since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
‘A year ago, we celebrated Easter in our homes due to the pandemic. This year, yet again we can't celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ as usual because of another virus, a plague called war,‘ Ukraine’s head of state added.
The Ukrainian government announced new curfews for Easter weekend and appealed to those celebrating the holiday to participate in religious services online.
