KYIV (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on his fellow Ukrainians on Orthodox Easter on Sunday to unite in prayer for each other and the soldiers on the frontline, saying God -- who has a "Ukrainian flag on his shoulder" -- will lead to life defeating death.

"Let's pray for each other. When we all came closer to each other, we were no longer strangers to each other," Zelenskiy, dressed in a traditional embroidered Ukrainian shirt -- vyshyvanka -- and his typical khaki pants, said in a lyrical video posted on the Telegram messaging app.
