  1. ***Dear Ukrainians!***

    *Today is a truly special day that we always look forward to, celebrated by millions of people. Easter. A day that is a ray of light – particularly radiant and powerful in times when dark clouds seek to cover our skies. A day that gives hope and reminds us all: Evil may have its hour, but God will have His day. This is one of the meanings enshrined in the story of Christ. Of His earthly suffering and death – and of His resurrection, and the truth that sooner or later, yet inevitably, evil will retreat, and life will triumph.*

    *Today, these words resonate in every Ukrainian heart. And they strengthen our faith, which, in spite of everything, has not faded for 1,152 days of full-scale war.*

    *Each of us has lived through moments like this. When it hurts deeply, when it is unbearably hard, and when you ask: “God, why is this happening to us? The strikes, the explosions, the gunfire – all this evil, all this grief. How can dozens be killed in Sumy on Palm Sunday? Don’t you see this, God? How they struck a children’s playground in Kryvyi Rih. How Kharkiv, Dnipro, our Odesa – dozens of our other cities – burn every day. When will it all end? And our land, our people, our children will hear the silence. How can we not lose faith after everything we are going through?”*

    *And when your mind can’t find answers to these questions, you begin to listen to your heart. And something unseen, yet so strong, inside you, keeps you from giving up. It shows you where to find the light, so you don’t lose your way.*

    *And then you see the people around you. You look into the eyes of your family, the faces of your loved ones, feel their embrace, feel the support of both those you know and those you don’t. Support of Ukrainians. And you realize that you share the same values with them. And it is those very values that united us all, most certainly not by coincidence, that brought us together on the first day of this war and continue to unite us still. They are will and endurance. Compassion and humanity. That is what God is. That is His presence. He is in our people. And that is why – there is light in people. That is why there is strength in people.*

    *In every action, in every little step along a hard road, and in every word of support, in every word: “How are you?” “What can I do to help?” “Take care of yourself.”*

    *We know what we’re defending. We know what we are fighting for. For whom – and for whose sake. And that is why, every time, no matter how hard it gets – we still do not lose faith. Because this faith is the faith in each other. In those who stand beside you. In Ukrainians. Faith that evil may have its hour, but God will have His day.*

  3. Bless President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine, their courage and grace will be one of the reasons they will be victorious.

  4. Zelensky is a frickin legend. May God bless his soul. Happy Easter 🐰 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦💙

  5. Stay safe mr. President. Instead of fancy food, I’ll donate some more drone parts to Ukraine to make sure Russia has a happy Easter too.

  6. Utmost respect for this man and the love he shows for the brave and courageous people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

  7. I listened to President Z’s message several times this morning. When times are dark, look both within to the heart, and without to the community for support, meaning, and the light that guides our way. I wish we had such messages from leaders in my country. Thank you Mr President.

    Velykden!
    Voyistinu Voskres

  9. The world needs more leaders like this man. He is a treasure.

  10. Every time I hear this man speak, I admire him more. He is a true hero.

    Slava Ukraini, and wishing all Ukrainians a safe and joyful Easter.

  12. Very moving. How can anyone watch this and not come to the conclusion that here is a real leader, a real human being, who truly cares about his people?

  13. We love you, Ukrainians. We love you all 🩵💛

  15. This man is the greatest leader of our generation. God bless him and may God free the people of Ukraine from the pure evil that has beset them since 2014.

  16. Well said, and well done Mr. President. May God indeed bless you and your family and all of your countries’ population.

  18. Is this a stock / historic photo of the “beautiful domes, they have beautiful domes” ?

    I have it on high authority that all of Ukraine has been destroyed.

  22. Христос Воскрес! Воїстину Воскрес! Дай Боже всім українцям дочекатися і вкластися у здобуття справедливого миру у нашій країні!
