“This type of action, whoever they were committed and whatever slogans these criminals are themselves not covered, unworthy of a European nation, discrediting independent Ukrainian state, and therefore are a business which benefits the enemies of Ukraine. Every citizen of our country, regardless of their national, ethnic, religious affiliation, needs to feel worthy and full-fledged citizen of the state, and the state government needs to protect his rights and freedoms, especially the right to life, health, and free development”, – reads the statement of the UGCC Patriarch Sviatoslav.

Sviatoslav urged the state authorities to transparently and impartially conduct investigations and to set the names of the criminals who were responsible for the pogrom of the Roma encampments.
