Brothers from the Taizé international Christian community traveled to Lviv to show Ukrainians their support. On 4 May they prayed with students and people of Lviv in UCU’s University Church of the Holy Wisdom of God.
With their wartime visit, the Taizé brothers wanted to show their solidarity with all Ukrainians who suffer and to encourage the people who are helping those who were forced to leave their homes. Three brothers came from France to UCU. During the prayer service they explained how they expected to see here people depressed by the war, but instead were impressed by Ukrainians’ courage, endurance, and strength of spirit. The brothers came to Lviv during an air attack, as Russia fired cruise missiles at the city the evening of 3 May.

The war Russia initiated against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, is the most broadscale in Europe since World War II. The moment Putin’s army invaded Ukraine, Europe has changed. Our global security, values, and future are in grave danger.
Ukraine has proved its alliance with the democratic world many times. For Ukrainians, safeguarding democracy is above everything else. Now Ukraine needs help of other democratic countries to defeat the dictator of enourmous-sized country that poses a threat to the whole world.
The people of Ukraine are in urgent need of our help – and the time to act is now. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, people are being forced to flee their homes. Families are being torn apart.
The people of Ukraine are incredibly grateful for the military and financial help provided by the world.
