<p>COVID-19 has gripped the world for the last two years. It has caused immense pain in the form of deaths, job losses, etc. &nbsp;</p>

<p>A patient in the UK seems to have suffered the worst due to this disease as the person has been fighting it for around 505 days. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview on Sunday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said situation in Mariupol may be a "red line" in negotiations. &nbsp;</p>

<p>This comes as soldiers of Ukraine in Mariupol have resisted an ultimatum of Russian forces&nbsp;to lay down arms on Sunday. Moscow has also said that its forces have almost seized the city completely, as per the media reports. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In spite of a Russian demand to surrender by dawn, the troops were still fighting in Mariupol, said Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The fighting in the pulverised port city of Mariupol seems to have become decisive in the course of the war. As the city could be the biggest prize for Russia in the nearly two-month war, both sides are leaving no stone unturned. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 'Urbi et Orbi' address, 85-year-old Pope Francis slammed Russia implicitly and called to observe an 'Easter of war’ on Sunday. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The pope also urged world leaders to strive for peace while criticising Moscow for forcing Ukraine into a "cruel and senseless" conflict, media reports said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Although Pope did not mention Russia by name, much of the message was focused on the war in Ukraine.</p>
