Thank you for appearing here, Ms. Stein.
I understand from my many visits to Ukraine that religion is supported by, they say, in the area of 80% of Ukrainians who would declare themselves as being somewhat religious or very religious. We know that among the major churches in Ukraine, one of them is the Russian Orthodox religion. They have a council of churches in Kiev that includes all of the major churches, Jewish and Russian and that. It's being chaired by a person of the Russian Orthodox church.
Given the scenario and circumstances particularly in the Russian border areas and the unsettlement through there, could the churches play a role in this? I'm thinking that if the council of churches, if they do have that power and sway, could put out a proclamation for every single church, every single parish, to support the concept of linguistic and cultural inclusivity. That might have, I think, some calming effect. As well, with the upcoming presidential election, if that were initiated, that would give the upcoming candidates for the presidential election...to reinforce and to be taken into the Rada by whoever was successful in the election.
What do you think? Do you think there could be a role for the churches if this were able to be put together?
