I am grateful for our unity - President paid a visit to the community that has joined the Orthodox Church of Ukraine

During a working trip to Lviv region, President Petro Poroshenko paid a visit to the community of Velyki Mosty and visited the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The community of this temple was one of the first to voluntarily move from the UOC-MP to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

"Our church goes with faith and love. And today, more parishes have already joined our church than there are in some Orthodox countries of the world. Therefore, I sincerely want to thank you for our unity. We build a state and protect it together. We do not allow anyone to ruin our unity. We have learned the lessons of the past very well, when Ukraine disappeared from the map of the world in 1918-1921, because the leaders of the state did not hold on to unity," the President emphasized.

Primate of the temple, Father Dmytro thanked the President for the visit and stressed that the move to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine was peaceful and voluntary.
