The Greek Catholic Church had been demanding the release of the priests for more than a year and appealing to the international community. They also claim that they received alarming evidence that they were being tortured on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POPE FRANCIS This action is one part of the Vatican's diplomatic plan. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy thanked the Holy See for its mediation from his social media accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Chrch also extended his gratitude, not only to the Pope, but to Cardinal Parolin and Cardinal Zuppi as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CA On June 27, two Ukrainian priests were released from Russian captivity as part of a ten-prisoner exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":69374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2-mHMeSRYEA","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bsacerdotiliberatiucrainaeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bsacerdotiliberatiucrainaint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69377"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69377"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69379,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69377\/revisions\/69379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
