Vatican foreign minister visits Ukraine in sign of solidarity, support
Seeing scenes of a war on television is one thing, “touching this reality is another,” Archbishop Paul R. Gallagher, Vatican foreign minister, said in Ukraine.
“I want to show support and solidarity, also in the name of the Holy Father,” the archbishop told Vatican Media while in Lviv.
During his May 18-20 visit to Lviv, Kyiv and surrounding suburbs, Archbishop Gallagher met with bishops from the Latin- and Eastern-rite Catholic churches as well as with local and national government officials.
