“From today's news I learned about what happened in Bucha. It's horrible. Sorrow filled my heart. I give those who commit this violence to the Judgment of God, from which no one can hide. I express deep compassion to the relatives of the victims, and I pray for those who died from violence and ask the Lord that He take their souls to the abode of the Righteous,” said the Primate of the UOC.
