Zelenska opened the Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen at the Lavra
A summit on the mental health of citizens was organized in the Refectory Church of the Lavra.
The wife of the President of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, opened the Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen in the Refectory Church of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, justifying the choice of venue with the history of the ancient monastery. This was reported by the National Reserve "Kyiv Pechersk Lavra" on Facebook.
Within the Ukrainian segment, delegates raised issues of mutual support, cognitive warfare, and the mental health of citizens. The President's wife justified the choice of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra as the venue by its complex historical fate.
According to her, the shrine has survived numerous raids, the destruction of the Dormition Cathedral in 1941, and "centuries of spiritual occupation." "We understand resilience as a moral and psychological category," Zelenska emphasized. "We in Ukraine, like our Lavra, are enduring a great deal right now. And it is easier when you can share what you have been through and turn that experience into something useful for others."
The National Reserve also stated that in the 25 years remaining until the Lavra's millennial anniversary, Ukraine must "strengthen the Ukrainian voice" of the monastery and worthily present it to the world as an integral part of Ukrainian and European history and culture.
As the Union of Orthodox Journalists reported, a presentation of radical combat units was held in the Refectory Church of the Lavra.
