  1. **From The Telegraph:**

    Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Ukrainians on Easter Sunday not to give up hope that peace will return to their country and to persevere to overcome the difficult path of war on which they have been travelling for 1,152 days.

    “Because this faith is in each other,” said Mr Zelensky. “In those who stand next to you. In Ukrainian men, in Ukrainian women. Faith that evil may have its hour but God will have his day.”

    Vladimir Putin announced a surprise 30-hour ceasefire in Ukraine on Saturday for Easter, which Mr Zelensky has accused the Russian army of breaking.

    “We know what we are defending. We know what we are fighting for. For whom and for whose sake,” Mr Zelensky said.

    “The day of life will come. The day of peace. The day of Ukraine. A day that lasts a century. And we will be able to gather together again. At one table. On a peaceful Easter,” he added.
