Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha met with religious leaders during the Conference of Ambassadors of Ukraine, where they agreed to enhance collaboration with religious organizations.
The Foreign Minister wrote about this on social media Х.
According to Sybiha, this was the first time the leaders of Ukraine's diplomatic missions abroad met with representatives from the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations.
"The discussion focused on supporting believers overseas, ensuring freedom of religion, and collaborating on international activities," the foreign minister stated.
According to him, Russia is implementing a systematic policy to exert pressure on religious communities in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
"The aim of the occupiers is to eliminate religious diversity and suppress Ukrainian spiritual traditions. To halt these Russian crimes, it is crucial for the international community to pay special attention," Sybiha wrote.
He emphasized that religious organizations in Ukraine play a crucial role in supporting society and Ukrainian defenders. During the meeting, an agreement was reached to enhance cooperation with these organizations.
