"What is your opinion: is it time for Ukraine to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ with the whole world? To free ourselves from Moscow's mental occupation and return to the family of free nations of the world. Celebrate Easter with the Christians of the world on April 17. Yes or no?" the mayor asks Ukrainians.
