Ukraine: Olena Zelenska calls for real humanitarian corridors
Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski, has called on the World Council of Churches, an organization representing 580 million Christians worldwide, to help organize “true humanitarian corridors” in Ukraine.
“I appeal to you as to an organization called to preach peace and fraternity: be the voice of those who suffer from war today! Communicate to the members of the World Council of Churches the importance of professing justice and peace on our land based on faith in God”, Zelenska said.
“I ask you and the members of the World Council of Churches to convey your voice condemning the war and calling for the protection of the civilian population”, she added.
Since the beginning of the war, the First Lady has been working on humanitarian support for Ukrainians. Therefore, she actively cooperates with the first ladies of other countries to resolve humanitarian crises in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, she is more focused on providing the necessary assistance to children and mothers and saving their lives.
The World Council of Churches brings together 352 churches and other church communities from around 100 countries and territories including most Orthodox churches, a large number of Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed churches, as well as many united and independent, according to its website.
