Due to the aggravation of the military escalation in the East of Ukraine, the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church appealed to the faithful of our state to intensify their prayers for peace in Ukraine. This was reported by the Informational and Educational Department of the UOC.
“The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has consistently supported and continues to support the territorial integrity of Ukraine and calls on its faithful to pray for peace in our Ukrainian state and throughout the world,” the Primate emphasized.
“I call on the leaders of states and everyone on whom it depends to prevent a new war. War is a grave sin before God!”, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine said.
