Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk with his wife Theresa, daughters Christina and Sophia, mother Maria Hryhorivna and father Petro Ivanovych traditionally participated in the Easter service at St. Nicholas Church near Askold's Grave in Kyiv.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk noted that Easter is “a very bright and essential Ukrainian holiday". "Why Ukrainian? Because hardly any other nation experienced such oppression and resurrected, has become strong, is fighting and winning," he stressed.
