UN chief urges 4-day Easter 'pause' in fighting in Ukraine

UNITED NATIONS — (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called Tuesday for a four-day “humanitarian pause” in fighting in Ukraine, starting Thursday to coincide with Orthodox Christians’ Holy Week observances. Noting that the Easter season is coming amid an intensifying Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine, the U.N. chief said the need for a “humanitarian pause" is all the more urgent. His remarks came a day after U.N. humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths suggested "maybe there will be some ripeness" for a cease-fire as the Orthodox Easter holiday approaches. Griffiths on Tuesday broached the idea of a Holy Week pause with the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, an interfaith group, Guterres said. “The four-day Easter period should be a moment to unite around saving lives and furthering dialogue to end the suffering in Ukraine,” Guterres said.
