Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church helped secure the transfer of a group of Ukrainian POWs to Hungary.

The Department of External Church Relations reports:

On June 8, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, with the mediation of the Russian Orthodox Church, within the framework of inter-Church cooperation, at the request of the Hungarian side, a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war of Transcarpathian origin who participated in hostilities was transferred to Hungary.

Metropolitan Anthony of Volokolamsk, Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations, and Archpriest Nikolai Balashov, adviser to the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, took part in this work on behalf of the Moscow Patriarchate, motivated by the motives of Christian philanthropy.

I became obsessed with the history of Russia and Ukraine, and Ukrainian Nationalists and the current events regarding the Donbas, and it has been deeply heart wrenching and shocking since the SMO began.
