The Ecumenical organization, the Conference of European Churches (CEC), which represents 114 churches in Europe, condemned the shelling by the Russian Federation on Kyiv on July 8, which damaged the "Ohmatdet" hospital. The statement was published on the CEC website.

The document calls for Russia to be held accountable for this war crime.

"Responsibility lies not only with political leaders but also with religious communities, which must stand against injustice and work towards healing and supporting those affected," the CEC participants noted.

The ecumenical organization urged the governments of European countries to provide the necessary assistance and support to Ukraine, "ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches those in need and establishing a lasting peace."

As reported by the UOJ, following the shelling of Okhmatdyt, the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (AUCCRO) called for the Russian Orthodox Church to be held accountable.
