Therefore, LiveNOW from Fox on Easter Sunday night, April 20th, broadcasted festive services from Moscow and Kyiv, in addition to the live stream from the Catholic Vatican. Kyiv was shown in the image with the inscription “Kyiv, Russia” but just before the end of the one-hour broadcast, the inscription was changed to “Kyiv, Ukraine.”

Moreover, the channel alternated between images from different churches, including live prayers from clergy, showing images of the Cathedral of the Holy Savior in Kyiv simultaneously with the service of Patriarch Kirill I. in Moscow.

Georgi Tichi, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanded an official apology from Fox News:
