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.
