During its Easter broadcast on April 20, American network LiveNOW from FOX labeled Kyiv as a Russian city for around 20 minutes.

The broadcast featured a live stream of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine’s Easter service from St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv, shown alongside a service in Moscow attended by Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill.

Initially, the Ukrainian service was correctly captioned “Easter Service: Kyiv, Ukraine.” However, after a brief pause, the on-screen text changed to “Easter Service: Kyiv, Russia.” The error was later corrected.

On Easter morning, April 20, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia is attempting to create the impression of a general ceasefire, but in some areas, it continues localized offensives and inflicts losses on Ukrainian forces.

On April 19, Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced a temporary ceasefire in the war against Ukraine for the Easter holiday.

Update: This article was updated on April 21 to include new reporting following the April 20 broadcast in which Kyiv was mistakenly labeled a Russian city on “LiveNOW from FOX.”

FOX News later contacted UNITED24 Media stating that the error originated on “LiveNOW from FOX,” not FOX News itself.
