Shostatsky conveyed a request from the Ukrainian diaspora living in Cyprus "to promote the implementation of spiritual care for Ukrainians in Cyprus by the Ukrainian-speaking clergy".
“During the further conversation, conditions and ways were discussed for meeting the spiritual needs of the Ukrainian diaspora on the island, as well as further development of ties between the Orthodox Churches of Cyprus and Ukraine. Archbishop Chrysostomos once again confirmed his spiritual support to the OCU and the entire Ukrainian people,” the OCU said.
