“On the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is with great honor and respect that I congratulate and bless all women and men of our glorious Ukrainian army."
With these words, the Head of the OCU congratulated Ukrainian soldiers.
"You are true heroes for all of us, our defenders who demonstrate the greatest sacrificial love that our Savior teaches. Such love, when a person sacrifices the most precious thing, their own life, for the protection of others," he noted.
Metropolitan Epifaniy assured that he prays for them.
"Defending our Homeland on the front lines, you are approaching victory - the victory of truth, justice, courage, resilience, and spiritual strength. You have already proven this not only to us but to the whole world, and you continue to prove it every day, every minute. I believe, support, and pray for each of you.
God's blessings to you, strength, fortitude, spiritual strength, and the swiftest great Ukrainian Victory!
