Vatican City, 26 April 2014 (VIS) –
Today, in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Prime Minister of
Ukraine, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, was received in audience by the Holy
Father Francis. He subsequently went on to meet with Cardinal
Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, accompanied by the secretary for
Relations with States, Archbishop Dominique Mamberti.
The cordial discussions, which took
place within the context of good bilateral relations between the Holy
See and Ukraine, focused on the current situation; the hope was
expressed that all the parties involved will collaborate
constructively to re-establish political and social stability
throughout the country, in accordance with international law, and to
promote understanding between peoples in the region. Attention then
turned to the specific role that Churches and religious
organisations, as well as all believers, are called upon to fulfil in
fostering mutual respect and harmony among all components of society.
Finally, mention was made of possible
further initiatives by the international community in this regard.
