"The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations categorically condemns the terrorist shelling of Ukrainian cities carried out by Russian troops to intimidate our people. All those who take part in these brutal attacks on peaceful cities, both the leaders who give the orders and the direct perpetrators, as well as all those who justify acts of inhuman cruelty, should know that they will be held accountable before the Almighty and punished for their crimes.
We sympathise with those affected by the attacks, we pray for the victims, and we ask God's blessing for our defenders.
We appeal to the international community, to the religious leaders of the world to condemn the acts of state terror committed by Russia. The terrorist state must be stopped as soon as possible!" the AUCCRO’s statement says.
