War in Ukraine

The Catholic bishop ministering in Ukraine’s only surviving Black Sea port has urged Americans to continue upholding truth and justice, following new talks between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Florida.

As Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians accompany U.S.-brokered peace talks that as of Dec. 3 produced no breakthrough, Ukraine’s religious leaders warn that failure to halt Russia and hold it accountable will expand the war to Europe.

As media reports spread that the new peace proposal for Ukraine drafted by the Trump administration could envision the country ceding territory and limiting the size of its military in exchange for security guarantees from the United States, a Ukrainian bishop said the immediate reaction of his people was that it was “fake news” and that “they could not believe it.”
