Thousands of people have congregated in Kiev’s Independence Square since November 2014 to pray for peace and stability in Ukraine. The ongoing conflict between the government and separatists has caused immense human suffering and displaced millions of people.
The peaceful protests began as a pro-European movement, but have since turned into a civil war. In this time of turmoil, prayer is an important tool for bringing people together and building trust. Prayer can also help connect people with their Creator.
Faith leaders throughout Ukraine are using prayerful messages to call for peace. Last month, Pope Francis sent a letter to both Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and separatist leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko imploring them to find a negotiated solution to the conflict.
“I invite you to receive my warm congratulations on the solemn anniversary of your country, as well as my fervent prayer that God may accompany you during these difficult times,” the Pope wrote. “I am convinced that the Lord is able to stop this deadly spiral if we all unite our efforts.”
Since hostilities began, Ukrainians from all walks of life have come together to pray for peace. On December 1st, thousands gathered at
Prayer for Peace in Ukraine
Since 2014, the Ukraine has been in a state of unrest, with violence and bloodshed happening on a regular basis. As the conflict has continued, so too have the prayers for peace.
Prayer for peace begins with each individual. We must open ourselves up to God’s love and mercy, and ask Him to help us find peace. We can also pray for Protection for Ukraine and all who are suffering.
We can also join together in prayer as a community or nation. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a powerful prayer service that you can use as a model.

The history of the Ukrainian conflict
The Ukrainian conflict is a long and complicated one, with a history dating back centuries. It began as a religious war between the Orthodox Christians and the Russian Muslims, but gradually turned into an ethnic conflict between the Russian-speaking Ukrainians and the Russian-speaking Ukrainians who were living in Crimea.
The current conflict in Ukraine can be traced back to 1991, when the Soviet Union dissolved. The newly independent Ukraine was divided into two parts, Ukrainian Donetsk and Ukrainian Luhansk. These regions declared themselves independent republics, but they had little power or support from the central government in Kiev.
In April 2014, pro-Russian separatists began riots in Donetsk and Luhansk after the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych, who was supported by Russia. These riots quickly turned violent, with both sides raiding each other’s homes and businesses. The violence continued until February 2015, when a ceasefire was agreed to by both sides.
Since then, there have been several attempts to rebuild trust between the two sides. In February 2016, representatives from both sides met in Minsk to try to hammer out a peace agreement, but they were unable to reach an agreement. In September 2017, representatives from both sides met again in Minsk but again were
The current crisis in Ukraine
Ukraine is in the midst of a protracted crisis. A series of protests and riots began in November 2013, motivated by economic issues such as low wages and corruption. This quickly escalated into a broader conflict between government forces and pro-Russian separatists. As of March 2014, over 5,000 people have been killed and over 12,000 wounded.
There are many factors contributing to the current crisis in Ukraine. One key factor is the history of violence between different groups in the country. Ukraine has a long and complicated history with Russia. For centuries, the two countries have been fighting each other, with Russia often using military force to expand its territory. This history has led to deep-seated resentment among the Ukrainian population towards Russia.
Another key factor is the Vladimir Putin regime in Russia. Putin has shown a clear willingness to use military force to expand Russian influence around the world. He has done so in Ukraine, Syria, and Crimea. Putin’s aggressive policies have led to widespread public support among Russian citizens for him, even as they have caused immense suffering for the populations affected by his actions.
In light of these factors, it is difficult to see how tensions in Ukraine will be resolved anytime soon. However, prayers for peace
