It kills, maims and destroys daily. An escalated Russian invasion will generate additional millions of refugees, more dead and injured, more tears and pain. Still, the people of Ukraine courageously endure. As they stand with a gun to their head, they ask for our solidarity,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three Ukrainian Catholic bishops in Canada&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/news.ugcc.ua\/en\/articles\/statement_by_the_ukrainian_catholic_bishops_of_canada_concerning_the_current_political_and_humanitarian_crises_in_ukraine_95448.html\">issued a message<\/a>&nbsp;the following day, also calling on people to direct their efforts in being properly informed about the conflict in Ukraine and not falling for disinformation. They also urged people to pray for peace and justice and to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough many in the world are not surprised at Russia\u2019s conduct in the last months, others are perplexed as to why it sees a need, in this day and age, to strive toward imperialistic ambitions,\u201d they wrote. \u201cFor our part, we simply and sincerely ask our brothers and sisters in Russia to reconsider the motives of their leaders in re-igniting the hardship that the citizens of Ukraine have undergone in the last seven years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appealing to their \u201cshared Christian faith\u201d with Russia, the bishops wrote: \u201cSurely a neighborly solution of reconciling divergent political visions will prove more successful in building solidarity and mutual beneficial collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/episkopat.pl\/doc\/187566.the-catholic-bishops-of-poland-and-ukraine-call-for-refraining-from-hostilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement on 24 January<\/a>, Catholic bishops in Ukraine and Poland cited former popes, papal encyclicals and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to show that war is never the answer to problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe current situation represents a great danger for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the entire European continent, which may destroy the progress made so far by many generations in building a peaceful order and unity in Europe,\u201d said the joint statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe call upon those in power to refrain from hostilities. We encourage leaders to immediately withdraw from the path of ultimatums and the use of other countries as bargaining chips. Differences in interests must be resolved not by the use of arms, but through agreements,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They included a prayer from St. John Paul II that said, in part: \u201cHear the cry of all your children, the anguished plea of all humanity. Let there be no more war \u2014 an evil adventure from which there is no turning back; let there be no more war \u2014 a maelstrom of struggle and violence. Grant that the war &#8230; which threatens your creatures in heaven, on earth, and at sea may cease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia annexed Crimea in early 2014 and, shortly afterward, Russian-backed separatists began fighting Ukrainian government forces in the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. Some 1.5 million people have fled the region to other parts of Ukraine and thousands of civilians and soldiers have died or been injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in the spring of 2021 Russia was accused by many Western nations of trying to provoke more active fighting by holding military exercises near the border, a massive Russian buildup of troops just over the border created alarm in early December. The buildup has continued and, late 22 January, Britain\u2019s Foreign and Commonwealth Office released a statement saying it had evidence that Russia was developing plans to install a pro-Russian government in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Laura Ieraci, assistant editor of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/cnewa.org\/magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ONE<\/a><em>, contributed to this article.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saying he was worried about Ukraine and how a possible Russian-Ukrainian conflict could spread, Pope Francis proclaimed 26 January as a day of prayer for peace in Ukraine.
