APPEAL
of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches
and Religious Organizations
in connection with Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine
Dear brothers and sisters, Ukrainian people!
Unfortunately, the efforts of many people around the world, as well as of our Council, to prevent the outbreak of war have not been a success. There was an unprovoked attack by Russia and Belarus on Ukraine.
In these circumstances, we urge you to remain calm, not to give in to panic, and to comply with the orders of the Ukrainian state and military authorities. "The truth and the international community are on the side of Ukraine. We believe that with God’s help, good will prevail!"
We support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all our defenders, bless them for defending Ukraine from the aggressor, and offer our prayers for them.
We appeal to the religious and political leaders of the world – now do everything possible to stop the aggressor’s offensive in Ukraine.
We ask God to bless our people in this bitter time of trials.
