“There are great evere threats of a new nuclear disaster“. The new alarm comes from the major archbishop of Kiev in his video message. “During the day yesterday the Ukrainian land has always trembled due to Russian weapons attacks of various kinds that the enemy has inflicted on our cities and villages. Heavy bloody battles are taking place across the entire front line. But the heart aches us especially for the city of Zaporizhzhia which during the day was the victim of various Russian attacks and blows. The enemy – Shevchuk explains – is trying to intimidate this city that has already been annexed to the Russian Federation in absentia by threatening those people who defend it with courage. Our Kharkiv trembled under the Russian blows. The enemy attacked the city center by destroying one of the hospitals in the city of Kharkiv. The urban center is on fire “.
”Relentless Russian attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant they look particularly criminal. Once again – Shevchuk says – the power plant becomes the epicenter of these attacks, although it is located on the territory occupied by the Russians. There a fire has broken out, the electricity supply has been cut off and there are great and real threats of a new nuclear disaster “.
Shevchuk still says that “in the last day, the enemy launched 7 missile attacks on Ukrainian towns and villages, 12 air strikes, 80 missile attacks with multi-launch rockets. 20 cities and villages in Ukraine became the epicenter of these attacks and suffered damage. In particular, critical infrastructures and the heat and energy supply of these cities were once again damaged, and residential buildings were destroyed. Once again, people died on the last day. There have been many injuries ”.
“Today, like every Saturday, according to the traditions of our Church, we pray for the deceased. I would like to ask everyone today, in particular, to pray for the victims of this war in Ukraine. For our soldiers, the sons and daughters of the ‘Ukraine, who gave their lives for her freedom. Let us remember them today in our prayers and our funeral services “.
“Today – continues the archbishop of Kiev – we see that every new liberation of a Ukrainian city reveals terrible facts of torture, abuse and murders committed by the Russian occupier on Ukrainian soil. And in these days, the newly liberated city of Liman is crying for new victims. A large mass grave has been reopened in which three small children had already been found. We pray for those denied a proper burial by the enemy, for whom the singing of the church prayers has not been heard. the church bells rang. May our prayer for their eternal rest go to the Lord God today. “
