In honor of the President of Ukraine, a prayer service was served. The divine service was led by Metropolitan Emmanuel of Gaul. The prayer service was held in Greek. At the end of the service, several women in Ukrainian costumes sang wishes for long life to Vladimir Zelensky, as well as “Oh, Ukraine! Oh, dear mother" song.
