CWN Editor's Note: Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, weighed in on the negotiations to end the Russo-Ukrainian War.
“Observing the negotiations at the highest global level, we hope that they will yield results,” said the Major Archbishop. “At the same time, we feel that this is only the beginning—the beginning of a serious search for a way to stop this war.”
“Ukraine is its people,” he continued. “And even when it is a question of the occupied territories, we ask at the highest international level to remember those who fell into the clutches of the occupation. We ask that the subject of human rights be returned to the negotiations, above all the right to life and freedom, and in our case, the right to be Ukrainian, to belong to the multimillion-strong Ukrainian people.”
