October 30, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

The United States Institute of Peace | In-Person and Virtual Event

Description: Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the country’s religious communities have been at the forefront of reinforcing national morale, providing crucial humanitarian relief and making the moral case for Ukraine’s sovereignty. With Russian missiles falling on religious sites and occupying forces preventing some churches from operating, Ukraine’s religious leaders have also emerged as important voices for promoting freedom of religion and belief. Join USIP, the Atlantic Council, and Razom for Ukraine for a conversation with a delegation from the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations. These senior Ukrainian religious leaders — who represent multiple branches of Christianity in Ukraine in addition to the country’s Muslim and Jewish communities — will highlight the various roles that religious groups and organizations have played as part of Ukraine’s war effort. They will also share personal experiences from the frontlines and discuss the challenges of navigating religion’s complex intersection with the war.
