Pope Francis' closeness and support to the suffering Ukrainian people are well known, insists Liliana Grexa, Spokesperson of the Ukrainian minority in the Hungarian Parliament.

Ukrainians are religious and don't lose their faith. They believe in God and they believe that the truth will win that the aggressor will leave their country. Everybody hopes and believes that they can return home, continue their normal life and will be able to see their children grow in freedom. I think, without hope, there is no victory. And without hope, there is no life and there is no peace.

After my election in April, I got in touch with the most active organizations that had started to help Ukraine and displaced Ukrainians who arrived in Hungary.For example, IOM, UNHCR, the Catholic Caritas, the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta, the Red Cross, Migration Aid, and even, HelpU Radio. This is a radio which was launched in order to help with information for displaced Ukrainians across Europe. After the war started, I think all of Europe started to help Ukraine.

When I was nominated for this position, I didn't know there would be such a hard situation since I was nominated in October 2020. When the war started, then I understood that it would be a much greater task, than what I imagined prior to my election. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church started to work on the first day of the invasion of Russia in Ukraine. They launched the volunteer center at the headquarters of the Ukrainian National Self-government. And they collected clothes and food and other things which were very useful for the displaced persons who came to our center.
