Because it is a \u2018frozen conflict,\u2019 no one speaks loudly about the war in Ukraine anymore,\u201d said the archbishop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shevchuk said that four years of fighting in eastern Ukraine have led to \u201cthe biggest humanitarian crisis on the European continent since the end of the Second World War.\u201d United Nations data shows that since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, more than 10,000 people have been killed and 1.6 million people displaced. Although a long-term cease-fire exists in Ukraine, it was violated over 1,200 times in one week in July, reported Europe\u2019s Special Monitoring mission in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The fighting has also damaged basic infrastructure, including hospitals, and caused an environmental disaster.\u201cBesides all these casualties and human tragedies, there is still another hidden danger of the war in eastern Ukraine: This region is at risk of suffering a dire, long-lasting ecological catastrophe due to flooded mines and contaminated drinking water, which is comparable in scale to the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster of 1986,\u201d warned the archbishop. Up to 4 million people might be left without safe drinking water in the region, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Faced with a growing humanitarian disaster, the Archbishop said the Catholic Church in Ukraine has responded with aid programmes. He was encouraged to see how both Roman and Greek Catholics work together in \u201cserving one\u2019s neighbour, taking care of the millions afflicted by the war, by providing them with spiritual guidance and often with social service as well.\u201d He said it shows \u201ca wonderful example of the unity of the Catholic Church in Ukraine, so much needed in Ukrainian society today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cOur society probably does not yet realize the full scale of trauma caused by the war and that is why we, as a Church need to invest so much of our energy and resources into the field of rehabilitation, in order to be able to heal the wounds of our people,\u201d said Shevchuk. He added, \u201cCharity is an antidote to egoism and indifference.\u201d\u00a0Warning about the dangers of \u201cfake news\u201d which he said has even affected developed countries in the West, Archbishop Shevchuk stated \u201cMany specialists nowadays call this war in Ukraine a \u2018hybrid war,\u2019 that is, a war where not only traditional weapons are used on battlefields, but where all means of destruction, including economic and information warfare, are employed. Thanks to information technologies, modern wars are not limited to specific territories.\u201d\u00a0Please remember: it is not only our war \u2014 it is the war for humanity!\u201d pleaded Shewchuk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>ACN Malta<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKRAINE Remember our \u2018silent and forgotten war\u2019 pleads Archbishop &nbsp; Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kyiv, head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, called on the international community and especially fellow Catholics not to forget the crisis in Ukraine. \u201cThis is a silent and forgotten war.
