The former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Williams joined other faith leaders on a visit to Ukraine this week (News, 11 April). Its purpose, he said, was “affirm our solidarity with victims of this appalling war, and express thanks for the courage shown by the Ukrainian people, in the hope that we can at least let them know that they are not forgotten”.

During the visit, Lord Williams, along with other faith leaders, spoke at an event in Chernivtsi, “Faith in Ukraine”, organised by the Elijah Interfaith Institute and the Peace Department. His two addresses at the event follow, and are used with the permission of the organisers.
