Russian President Vladimir Putin, accompanied by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, attended the midnight Orthodox Easter service at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. The ceremony was led by Patriarch Kirill and coincided with a rare occasion where both Eastern and Western Christian churches observed Easter on the same date — a symbolic year marking 1,700 years since the historic Council of Nicaea. Just hours before the service, Putin declared a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, effective from 6 p.m. Saturday to midnight on Sunday (Moscow time). The Kremlin cited humanitarian reasons for the truce, although concerns remain regarding its implementation and monitoring. Stay tuned for live coverage of the Easter service and developments on the ceasefire from Moscow.
