Although the Ukrainian government has not closed churches during the pandemic, Ukraine was confronting other pandemics, said its major archbishop.
The pandemic has prevented humanitarian aid from reaching parts of Ukraine and impeding Ukraine s hopes of joining the European Union as a free and stable country, Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kyiv-Halych told Poland s Catholic Information Agency, KAI. In a Jan. 26 interview with the agency, he also spoke of a rise in family violence and the spread of commercial surrogacy, which treated people as goods to be ordered, produced and sold.
