There was no immediate Russian comment.
The Orthodox Easter service starts late on Saturday into Sunday morning. Both Ukrainians and Russians are predominantly Orthodox Christians, and mark Easter Sunday on 24 April.
A Ukrainian association of churches and religious communities separately proposed an Easter truce, and the head of Ukraine's Orthodox church urged Ukrainians to forgo night-time Easter services, fearing Russian bombardment. . . .
