U.S. President Donald Trump held an Easter prayer service and dinner in the Blue Room of the White House. The event was attended by religious leaders from across the country, including evangelical pastors, Catholic priests, and representatives of other Christian denominations. Trump expressed hope that this would be one of the largest Easter celebrations in history. The President addressed about 40 Christian leaders in the Blue Room of the White House during the Easter prayer and lunch, calling the death and resurrection of Jesus the two most significant events in history. He also condemned the persecution of Christians in other parts of the world and noted the establishment of a special group within the Justice Department to combat anti-Christian sentiments. Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated in an interview with Sky News that Moscow should set a deadline for a ceasefire. According to Stubb, this deadline could fall on April 20. The chosen date is due to the fact that April 20 will mark three months since the beginning of Donald Trump's second presidency, coinciding with Easter. It is worth recalling that the probability that the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine within the first 90 days of his inauguration was 34%.
