Христос воскрес! У це свято хочу всіх запевнити: якщо будемо єдині, будемо разом, то темрява щезне, а світло переможе. І Україна воскресне.

Russian state television reported on April 20 that gunmen attacked a pro-Russian checkpoint just outside of Slovyansk.
A correspondent for the Rossia 24 news station said both pro-Russian separatists and gunmen were killed in the incident.
Slovyansk -- which is about 100 kilometers north of Donetsk, the regional capital -- is largely controlled by pro-Russian separatists who first took over a police headquarters and later the city hall.
Separatists also captured some Ukrainian military vehicles from the nearby city of Krematorsk that are being kept in Slovyansk.
Donetsk regional HQ still occupied. Won't leave until Kiev govt bldgs are emptied of protesters. #cbc pic.twitter.com/li5GRob9VC
