Russian attacks

“The war in Ukraine has been a Gethsemane and crucifixion for many,” said Basilian Sister Ann Laszok “but we believe in the Resurrection that will follow.”

Russia’s invasion and ongoing war on Ukraine, now entering its 70th day, has caused a “humanitarian catastrophe” with millions forced to flee the country or be displaced internally, Archbishop Shevchuk said.

Despite the appeals, Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine and launched a missile strike that killed six people, including a mother and her 3-month-old baby, in Odesa April 23.
