The Romanian Patriarchate has expressed deep concern and sadness over the attack on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the most important centres of Orthodox spirituality and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Any damage inflicted upon a place of worship and a monument of such religious, historical and cultural value represents a loss for all of Christianity and for the universal heritage of humanity.
We pray to God for an end to the violence, for the restoration of peace, for the protection of human lives and for the preservation of the spiritual and cultural heritage endangered by armed conflicts.
