Russia Bombs Odessa Apartment Building & Five Train Stations
------------------------------------------------------------

Fighting continued in Ukraine over the weekend despite calls for a truce
to mark Orthodox Easter. In the Ukrainian port city of Odessa, at least
eight people died in a reported Russian military strike on an apartment
building. Earlier today, Russia bombed five train stations in western
Ukraine. Russia is also continuing to bombard a steel plant in the
besieged city of Mariupol, where Ukrainian fighters and civilians are
holed up. On Sunday, an Orthodox Ukrainian priest condemned the ongoing
violence.

Father Feodosiy: "They are attacking. Unfortunately, as we were
finishing our Easter Mass, we suddenly heard air raid sirens. It is
tragic that people who call themselves Christians allow themselves to do
such things. They don't even stop on the biggest celebration in the
world: the resurrection of Christ."
