Maryna Poroshenko and Metropolitan Epifaniy discussed the future of Ukraine

President’s wife Maryna Poroshenko met with His Beatitude Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Epifaniy. During the meeting, the parties discussed joint charitable projects and the fate of Ukraine.

"We must preserve the freedom and integrity of Ukraine in order to have a future. After all, without a free and integral state, the Ukrainian people have no future," Metropolitan Epifaniy said.

The Primate emphasized that Ukrainians should appreciate the current achievements. According to him, Ukraine has managed to localize the wound in the east due to the efforts of Ukrainian defenders, volunteers and authorities. “They managed to localize this wound in the east, so that the public doesn’t feel this war, which is continued there. People do not understand that they can lose freedom, for which our society paid with the blood of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred during the Revolution of Dignity,” the Primate noted.

Also, in the course of the conversation, Metropolitan Epifaniy stressed that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church prayed for the presidential elections to be held in a fair and transparent manner, so that everyone can make a free choice.

"We will believe in the best and pray to God for Ukraine to win," Maryna Poroshenko noted.
