Second Military Prayer Breakfast held in Kyiv - фото 1
President Volodymyr Zelensky, heads of churches and religious organizations, military chaplains, defenders of Ukraine, and foreign guests participated in the second Military Prayer Breakfast on December 6, marking the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Russia has violated everything long ago: the norms of international law, the rules of common sense, and all of God's Commandments. You truly know what we are fighting for in this war. Above all, for our state, for its life, which means for independence and freedom,” said the President, as reported by the official website of the Head of State.

He noted that December 6 is a special day, marked by a double significance: the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Saint Nicholas Day, celebrated on this day by Christians in many countries across Europe and the world – a time when faith in miracles is strongest, and when, for Ukraine, the greatest gift would be peace.

"A just, dignified, and – as everyone says – honest. And in my view, it is crucial that it be lasting. And only such a peace will be blessed with the non-recurrence of this war and the non-recurrence of enemy aggression. They are who they are – we have no illusions. But we know that no one will grant this peace to us; we must win it," said Volodymyr Zelensky.

The President thanked everyone for supporting Ukraine, for their prayers, their unity, every good deed, and every kind word.

Military chaplains said prayers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all other branches of the Security and Defense Forces, as well as for the fallen defenders of our country.
