President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said he hopes Russia and Donbas militants will adhere by ceasefire regime in the east of Ukraine, at least during Easter holidays. He guaranteed the ceasefire would be kept by the Armed Forces of Ukraine if that happens.

"PP: Today is Holy Friday. This year Easter will be a challenge for Russia in regards to its affiliation with Christian civilization. To pass this test, Russia along with its puppets should unconditionally cease fire, at least during Easter holidays," reads a post on official president's account on Facebook on Friday.
