Patriarch: We are mourning the loss of our volunteer soldiers in Ukraine, who sacrificed themselves to save the lives of others

The Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II offers his condolences to the families of the Georgian fighters who died in Ukraine.

The Patriarch’s letter of condolence was read by the heir to the patriarchal throne, locum tenens Shio Mujiri in Kashveti Cathedral.

"Unfortunately, we are mourning the loss of our volunteer soldiers. We are saying goodbye to those fallen in the Ukraine war. They fought to save the lives of others and sacrificed themselves. Sacrificing yourself to save the life of someone else is the greatest sacrifice! We are praying for Giorgi (Gia) Beriashvili, Davit Ratiani and Bakhva Chikobava," reads the letter of condolence of the Patriarch.
