Roman Soloviy is the Director of the Eastern European Institute of Theology in Lviv, Ukraine.
Here are some of his thoughts, reflection on the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
During this war, I have become increasingly aware of how emotional and geographic proximity relates to the perception of information. For our friends abroad, the news of the Ukrainian tragedy could remain just a piece of information about events in a neighbouring country. For us, it is the destruction of our world, our families, and our futures. Even the most sympathetic cannot experience what we are experiencing here on an existential level. Peering into a well and being at the bottom of one are two completely different experiences.
