Russian attacks on Orthodox Easter Sunday resulted in casualties in Ukraine, with a woman killed in Kharkiv and surrounding areas. Zelenskiy called for unity and prayer, emphasizing victory over death.
Conflict in Ukraine highlights the division within the Orthodox Church, as many Ukrainians, including Zelenskiy, identify as Orthodox Christians. The split between the independent Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the loyal Ukrainian Orthodox Church to Moscow generates suspicion.
Vladimir Putin's Easter message did not directly address the war in Ukraine. Instead, he focused on gratitude towards the head of Russia's Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, emphasizing the need for unity and cooperation during challenging times.
