The first lady of Ukraine, the wife of the president, Olena Zelenska, visited Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who is the spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians around the world, in Istanbul.

After the meeting, she noted that Patriarch Bartholomew constantly testifies to the anti-human nature of the Russian war.

Olena Zelenska announced this on her Facebook page.

"The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew calls the war against Ukraine nothing but diabolical.

And he took such a position immediately," the first lady emphasized.

In her post, Olena Zelenska noted that the Russian church supports military aggression, blesses murderers and executioners. 

"Obviously, the Christian worldview, morals and values ​​have no real meaning for them," she noted.

According to the president's wife, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew constantly prays for peace in Ukraine, takes care of our displaced people in the world.

The Ecumenical Patriarchate sent the first humanitarian aid to Ukraine back in March and continues to do so.

During her visit to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the First Lady of Ukraine was accompanied by the Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, First Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of Economy Yuliya Svyridenko, Deputy Head of the Office of the President Andriy Sybiga and Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Turkey Vasyl Bondar. 

The Ukrainian delegation thanked the Ecumenical Patriarch for his support and help.

We will remind you that Pope Francis declared that the war in Ukraine is the "Third World War".

At the same time, the pontiff is sure that Ukraine is not the only victim.
