Father Vasile Sauciur delivered an impassioned sermon, telling the congregation, 'We have what it takes to be victorious.'
Roman Korol stood outside Saint Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Echo Park on Sunday and fought tears as he thought of his family members in his native Ukraine.
Four days after Putin began his large-scale assault by air, land and sea, tens of thousands of Ukrainians have already fled west, some crossing into Poland and Romania. But thousands more have responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call to take up arms to push back against the Russian blitz in what is Europe’s biggest ground war since World War II.
Roman Korol recited a prayer for Ukraine, one that asked for God to protect and bless his home country. As he spoke the third verse, he thought of his family. Tears fell down his cheeks.Roman Slobodynskyj never thought he would see Russia invade a sovereign Ukraine. At the end of the nearly three-hour service — one that ran longer than usual “because we have a great crisis” — Father Vasile Sauciur delivered an impassioned sermon and questioned Putin’s motives, wondering what goal would be worth the lives lost in war. He rested his fingertips against his temple as he spoke.
“We didn’t expect this from Russia,” said Skokova, who left Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, with her husband in 2017. “I cry every day. I can’t sleep.”
