Sea of Ukrainian flags in front of the Independence monument in Kyiv — Thousands of Ukrainian flags have been placed at the Maidan Nezalezhnosti/Independence Square - the central square of Kyiv, capital city of Ukraine, in front of the Independence Monument, in memory of those whose lives have been lost since the Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine started in February 2022.

The WCC series of global prayers for peace, which began with a prayer for the Middle East, is intended to bring the worldwide ecumenical community into a shared rhythm of solidarity, intercession, and hope.

Rooted in faith and grounded in the conviction that prayer is both witness and action, the initiative reflects the vocation of the churches to accompany those who suffer and to uphold the dignity of all people.

The Global Prayer for Peace in Ukraine is prepared and organized in cooperation with the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, which represents more than 90% of all religious organizations and communities in Ukraine.

When: Thursday, 11 June from 13.00 to 14.00 CET.
