This was stated in the commentary for the Canadian edition of «National review» by the Father and the Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, His Beatitude Sviatoslav (Shevchuk), during his pastoral visit to Canada.

"Our Church urges Ukrainians to participate fully in the electoral debate and vote with care for the person who can unite the country, unite in the face of Russian aggression", - said the Head of the UGCC.

He stressed that the pre-election Russian propaganda and the destabilization of the election campaign are aimed at "separation and disintegration" of Ukraine, which is trying to hold fair and open elections, which were required on Maidan.

The Primate of the Church assured that he and his Church will do everything possible to make the elections meet the spirit of Maidan.
