Ukrainian Delegation Presents Devastating Painting to Pope Francis

During a meeting with Pope Francis, the Ukrainian delegation, including Veronica Dyakovich from Ternopil, presented a painting depicting the devastating face of a Ukrainian city. This artwork has become a symbol of the painful reality faced by thousands of Ukrainians who have lost their homes due to the war. The artist who created the painting himself lost his home, adding a special meaning to the piece. This was reported by Father Roman Demush on his Facebook page.

Hope and Pain Shared with Pope Francis

Calls for Action and Support

The Ukrainian participants made specific requests to the Pope. They urged him to make every effort towards the liberation of prisoners and the cessation of war. This meeting was an important step in drawing the attention of the international community to the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine and in strengthening calls for action from the international community.
