Poroshenko asks Metropolitan Onufry to help have Ukrainian naval sailors freed

President Petro Poroshenko stresses that he had used and would continue to use all possible means to free Ukrainian sailors captured by Russia.

The Head of State says that he even turned to the Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate. “Yesterday and the day before, I had a conversation with Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate Onufriy. I asked him to contact Moscow immediately in order to take appropriate church measures to return (our sailors – ed.). I will not waste any chance to return our soldiers. We will pray and hope that this will happen as soon as possible,” the Head of State said in an interview to the “First Western” TV channel in Lviv region.
