More than 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war have been released in a major Easter exchange with Russia.
Alla Voronina, one of the people who came to St. Michael's with baskets containing Easter cakes and multi-colored eggs, said that the restrictions were “very hard" on residents' morale.
Another worshipper, Tetiana Voloshyna, said she was praying for Ukrainian troops “who defend us and make it possible for us to have this holiday.” She added she had come to the monastery with her “personal pain and personal requests to God for victory, peace and life.” “The Russians have once again confirmed that they hold nothing sacred,” Lysak said in his post. He did not immediately provide evidence of the strike or its consequences.
At least four civilians were killed and eight others were wounded on Saturday and overnight, Ukrainian officials reported on Sunday morning.
