The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is visiting the United States of America during what many judge as a critical juncture in the more than two-year-long war, with his invaded country increasingly appearing on the back foot as the military advantage appears to swing in Russia's favour. 

In remarks at the start of his visit to the US, his Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, thanked Church leaders for their support and expressed his belief that continued solidarity can carry Ukraine to victory over Russia.
