MGA KATOLIKO sa Ukraine, ayaw umalis sa Kyiv kasama ang mga Oblate priest at mga Ukranians kahit panay ang abante ng Russia.

Ito ang sinabi ni Maria Teresa Shybanova ng St. Nicholas Catholic Cathedral sa Kyiv sa panayam ng Notre Dame Broadcasting Corporation.

Ang 25-taong gulang na si Teresa ay kasamang nanindigan at ipagtanggol ang kanilang lungsod sa anumang paraan, kabilang ang pagharap sa mga tangke de giyera ng Russia.
