This was reported by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sibiga, on his X account.

“During the conference of Ukrainian ambassadors, we held an important meeting with Ukrainian religious leaders. For the first time, the heads of Ukrainian diplomatic missions abroad met with representatives of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations.
