Happy Easter to everybody. In Poland this Easter is quite unique not only because of high prices. Ukrainians just had its Palm Sunday in the same time when Catholic Church celebrated Easter. Because of having huge Ukrainian diaspora - there would be extra celebrations next week. Ukrainian people are divided - some are believers of Russian church, majority are following Ukrainian patriarchs, some are Greek Catholics. It would be interesting to see how it goes and how both cultures would interwine together.

Here is Russia response to Ukraine for the cease fire during the Orthodox holy week: www.foxnews.com/world/russia-rejects-ceasefire-for-civilian-evacuation-amid-eastern-orthodox-holy-week0:00 / 2:51 BeyondWords Russia rejected a temporary cease-fire in Ukraine that the United Nations secretary general requested for the purpose of civilian evacuation during the Eastern Orthodox Holy Week leading up to Easter. Russia's deputy UN ambassador said the cease-fire request was not sincere and would only provide time to arm Ukrainian soldiers. Dmitry Polyanskiy, the deputy ambassador, told the Security Council Tuesday that the cease-fire requests were "insincere, and in practice they merely point to an aspiration to provide Kyiv nationalists breathing room to regroup and receive more drones, more antitank missiles and more MANPADS," The New York Times reported. "MANPADS" refers to man-portable air-defense systems, smaller and more portable surface-to-air missiles. RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE: LIVE UPDATES U.N.
