The UN Secretary General António Guterres condemned the Russian attack on Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure. The missile strike destroyed a medical center, killing people arriving for treatment and severely wounding two doctors.
In a video message on July 15, Shevchuk said that the “Ukrainian people are crying … for the innocent victims of Vinnytsia.”
“Three Russian missiles hit the city center, the most crowded place of this regional center, where there is a medical facility, a maternity hospital, and other life support facilities,” he said.
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is a sui iuris Eastern Catholic Church of the Byzantine rite, which currently has around 51 bishops in its synod. Its bishops carry out pastoral service throughout the world, including in the U.S. and Ukraine.
