Russian Orthodox Easter will be on the 24th of April this year.

I wonder how it wll be celebrated in 2022 - in times of war ...
 
How will it be celebrated?

By massacring more innocent Ukrainian men and women and babies.
 
I wonder how the Orthodox Church of Ukraine will celebrate.

In 988, as a result of the christianization of Kyivan Rus by Vladimir the Great, the first Christian church in Ukrainian territory was formed with its center in the city of Kyiv under the name of the Metropolitanate of Kyiv of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.[28] In 1448, the Council of Moscow's Bishops, without the consent of the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople, appointed Jonah, Bishop of Riazan, Metropolitan of Kyiv. This event is considered the beginning of the separation of the Church of Moscovy. After the Union of Brest in 1596, there was a split in Ukrainian Christianity, which was divided into Orthodox and Catholics.

 

Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate​


The Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP; Ukrainian: Украї́нська Правосла́вна Це́рква – Ки́ївський Патріарха́т (УПЦ-КП), romanized: Ukrainska Pravoslavna Tserkva — Kyivskyi Patriarkhat (UPTs-KP)) was an unrecognized Orthodox church in Ukraine which existed since 1992 and merged into the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in 2018. In 2019, the former leader of the church Filaret (Denysenko) has declared its "revival" following his conflict with Epiphanius, however, it was not supported by the majority of the bishops of former Kyiv Patriarchate.[1] As of 2021, the juridical person of UOC-KP is officially stopped.[citation needed]

After its unilateral declaration of autocephaly in 1992, the patriarchate was not recognised by the other Eastern Orthodox churches, and was considered a "schismatic group" by the Moscow Patriarchate.[2][3] The Ecumenical Patriarchate decided on 11 October to reintegrate the faithful Christians of Ukraine into the Orthodox Church including the faithful and hierarchs of the UOC-KP and accord to the newly formed church autocephaly. The newly formed church was not recognised as a patriarchy.

Who knew about the Ukrainian Church?
 
And how do you view the Ukrainian Church?
 
What do the Christians in the West say about the support of the Russian Orthodox Church for Putin's war?
 
My best wishes for all Orthodox Christians worldwide!
