Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces in Ukraine to observe a unilateral, 36-hour cease-fire, for the Orthodox Christmas.
The Russian leader announced that the Kremlin's troops would pause fighting after the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, proposed it.
But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address on Saturday that the Russian military was continuing to strike Ukrainian positions despite their declared ceasefire.

In a shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldovaâs actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability. This unprecedented interference raises serious questions about the state of religious rights in Moldova.
