On April 12, 2026, as on April 5, Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Ukrainians on Easter. Together with his wife Olena, the President spoke about the meanings and significance of Christ's Resurrection.
According to him, "this day has always been about family, the warmth of home, about children’s laughter in it. So that this laughter may be heard, thousands of Ukrainians on the frontline defend Ukraine and their families." According to the President, the meaning of Easter for Ukrainians is in "our identity." "Each year, we prepare – we put together Easter baskets, paint pysanky, bake paskas, decorate our homes, plant trees and flowers," he said.
The President highlighted that "we got through this winter. The hardest in our history. But one that lost. Lost to us."
"For the fifth year in a row, we do this despite the pain, all the trials, and the evil that surrounds our land. We do it, proving that Ukrainians always remain Ukrainians," the Zelenskys said.
Zelensky also stated, "Ukraine stands firm, resolute, unshaken – knowing for whom and for what. So that the fifth Easter in a time of war is followed by the first Easter in peace."
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that on April 5 Zelensky congratulated Ukrainians on Easter.
