We need to speak more actively about responsibility not only for our lives and health but also for our loved ones and the people around us. We must work to ensure that the Easter holidays are held in a solemn, peaceful and safe manner,” Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak noted.
Earlier, the National Police of Ukraine said: subject to quarantine, worship is not prohibited, but law enforcement agencies will ensure that there are no large crowds in the temples.
