Conference of European Churches condemns missile attack on Okhmatdyt

This was stated in the CEC's statement.

"This egregious act, targeting the most vulnerable members of society, constitutes a war crime and a grave violation of international law and humanitarian principles. The attack is a stark reminder of the horrors of this war and the suffering of Ukrainians," the document reads.

The Conference of European Churches calls upon politicians and church leaders to hold the Russian Federation accountable for its actions.

"The responsibility lies not only with political leaders but also with religious communities, who must speak out against injustice and work towards healing and support for those affected," the authors of the statement note.

"We encourage all European governments to provide necessary aid and support to Ukraine, ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches those in need and that enduring peace is established.

In these trying times, we stand with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, praying for an end to violence and the dawn of peace. May God's grace and compassion guide us all in our efforts to support and uplift those suffering in this conflict."
