Under the patronage of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, an event titled the "National Prayer Breakfast" took place on June 29, with the participation of 836 people from 15 countries, including representatives from 12 denominations, as reported on the President's website.
Representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church did not attend the presidential event.
Zelensky emphasized that the prayer breakfast brought together people with diverse views, all united in their desire to ensure Ukraine achieves a real victory of good over evil.
Participants of the National Prayer Breakfast were addressed by Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Mike Johnson and former Vice President of the United States Mike Pence.
"We pray for the continued strength of the Ukrainian army, the safety of the Ukrainian people and lasting peace in your homeland," said the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
As reported by the UOJ, UOC lawyer Robert Amsterdam stated that while Volodymyr Zelensky preached peace and restoration in Europe, his people continued persecutions against the 1000-year-old Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
