poslal Nepřihlášený Dear friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,
I am writing you this message early in the morning of March 2nd
deeply concerned for Ukraine while it is one step away from the war.
After bloody clashes all over Ukraine and especially in the center of
Kiev when Ukrainians have won back their Independence, Russia sent
troops into the territory of Ukraine and occupied almost the entire
Crimean peninsula. The provocations organized by Russian special agents
take place all around the South East of the country.
In connection with such terrible events I urgently departed from Kiev
to Odessa, where during the entire day together with the patriots we
have been conducting peacekeeping events in the squares, holding
meetings with various political forces and army units to prevent the
destruction of the independence and separatism of Ukraine which can lead
to a war. Obviously, the situation in Odessa, as in the Crimea is
ignited by separatists who set Russian speaking regions against
Ukrainian speaking. The situation is complicated by the fact that
Special Forces called “Berkut” are demoralized and many officers receive
proposals from the Russian special services to move to their side and
thus be under their control.
The position of Ukraine and our brother in Christ Dr. Turchinov who
fulfills the duties of the President of Ukraine is exclusively peaceful
solution of this critical situation and pressure on Russia from the
U.S., EU and UN. I ask you kindly to pray fervently that Almighty God
would intervene and not allow war on our peaceful land. Here in Odessa
is my wife, daughter, parents, church. Here is our Homeland. As the new
day of Sunday is coming I ask you to pray with us that this day may
bring Ukraine peace which may come only from Almighty God.
Your brother in Christ,
Pavel Unguryan
Member of Parliament (2008-2012)
