A Presentation of His Beatitude Sviatoslav’s Book “Ukraine: 365 Days of Suffering and Hope” to Be Held in Paris
For more than three and half years of full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, the Ukrainian people have been courageously defending their freedom and right to a future, despite constant violations of international humanitarian law and attacks on the civilian population.
Since the first days of this invasion, His Beatitude Sviatoslav has addressed Ukrainians daily with words of spiritual support and hope, helping them to comprehend their experiences through the lens of the Christian faith. These daily addresses, delivered during the first year of the war, laid the foundation for the publication that will be presented in Paris.
We invite the Ukrainian community in France, friends of Ukraine, and all people of good will to join this event.
The event will be broadcast live on the YouTube channel of Zhyve TV.
