Kyiv • UNN
American channel Fox News showed the Easter service from Moscow at night, calling Kyiv a Russian city, then corrected the caption. Zelenskyy stated that the media should pressure Moscow for a ceasefire, not broadcast services from there.
Against the backdrop of the night broadcast of the Easter service in russia on the American channel Fox News, which was led by Patriarch Kirill, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that instead of broadcasting services from moscow, pressure should be put on moscow to truly agree to a full ceasefire, reports UNN.
We thank all media, podcasters, bloggers, everyone who spreads the truth about what is happening. We should not broadcast services from moscow, but put pressure on moscow so that they truly agree to a full ceasefire and maintain it for at least 30 days after Easter to give diplomacy a chance
The President emphasized that Ukraine is recording every violation by russia of its own promise of full silence for the entire duration of Easter and is ready to provide partners with relevant information.
"In fact, either putin does not fully control his army, or the situation proves that they in russia have no goal of truly moving towards ending the war and they only need favorable media PR. It's good that there were no air raid alerts at least," Zelenskyy noted.
