On 28 October, His Beatitude Sviatoslav, the Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss continued support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
During the meeting, Sviatoslav thanked France for its substantial assistance to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. He acknowledged France as the first country to endorse President Zelenskyy’s peace initiative and emphasized France’s steadfast commitment to Ukraine’s European aspirations.
The head of the UGCC also expressed appreciation for French efforts to help recover children who were abducted by Russia, as well as for French support provided to Ukrainian refugees. In response, Macron assured Sviatoslav of continued French support for Ukraine and its efforts to restore territorial integrity.
The meeting concluded with Sviatoslav presenting Macron with a symbolic gift: a fragment of a Russian drone that had been shot down over the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Kyiv. He also gave Macron the Letter of the Synod of Bishops of the UGCC regarding War and Just Peace.
