Religious leaders to visit Ukraine in show of solidarity

An international delegation of faith leaders is visiting Ukraine on Tuesday to show solidarity with those affected by the invasion, Qazet.az reports.

The group is expected to meet those who have fled eastern Ukraine for the western city of Chernivtsi.

The delegation will include monks, rabbis, Muslim clerics, Buddhist and Hindu religious leaders and the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.

Williams told BBC Radio Four in an interview last week that there was a "strong case" to expel the Russian Orthodox Church from the World Council of Churches, for its failure to condemn the killing of innocent people.
