Russian attacks continue in Ukraine on the 16th, which is Easter. In Zaporozhye Oblast, there were no worship services due to the attack.

President of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, called for national unity. He said, "The sun will shine in the south, east, and Crimea, when we overcome the most difficult mountain pass" in Ukraine's history, the Dnipropetrovsk strait, which separates Ukraine from Crimea. The Russian army is still in control of the region, but has not yet taken over.
