Patriarch Sviatoslav with Orthodox and Protestant Church leaders (with the Armenian and Latin archbishops to his left) meeting President Yanukovich to repeat his pleas for peace, justice and democracy on Friday.
According to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Yanukovich refused anything to the Church leaders and lectured them that their role was to do their job and tell the people not to revolt. Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk said to Yanukovych “We were, we are, and we will be with the people.”
