During the meeting His Beatitude thanked His Eminence for his support and that of members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales at a time of war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. More than 10,000 have been killed, 2 million have been displaced (1.7 million internally), and the entire population has been impoverished because of the war and Russian sanctions which has resulted in a 60% depreciation of the Ukrainian currency (Hryvnia). In particular, His Beatitude expressed his gratitude for offering his Cathedral for the Pontifical Divine Liturgy taking place on Saturday 28^th October 2017 commemorating the 60^th anniversary of the establishment of the Ukrainian Catholic Exarchate/Eparchy.
