He recalled that the city of Mariupol, which was founded by the Greek community as the city of Maria, today has become a cemetery for tens, thousands of people.

We ask: open humanitarian corridors, give women and the elderly the opportunity to leave this cold, surrounded city. Give us the opportunity to deliver food and medicine there, give us the opportunity to save people, "the Head of the Church said.
