During a meeting with Ukraine’s Ambassador to the Vatican, Andrii Yurash, inspirational and touching words of support for Ukraine were expressed By His Holiness, Pope and Patriarch of all Africa of the Alexandrian Greek-Orthodox Patriarchate Teodoros II.
That’s according to the ambassador’s posting on Facebook.
After Saturday’s meeting with Pope, Patriarch participated in Sunday in the ceremony of receiving the award of Pope Bonifacio VIII, which was granted Him by the special Bonifaciana Academy in the city Anagni and was handed to His Holiness by Bishop of Frosinone-Anagni Ambrogio Spreafico, the Head of the Scientific Committee of the Award Bishop Enrico dal Covolo, and President and Rector of the Academy Prof. Sante De Angelis.
“All speakers made very obvious references and expressed their closeness to suffering and fighting for own dignity Ukraine. But several demonstrations of solidarity with Ukraine of His Holiness had been not just the most emotional but very deep also in terms of understanding the real roots of the war, started by russian terroristic regime against Ukraine and the whole free world,” the ambassador wrote.
