Manitoba Islamic Association shares insight into war in Ukraine from Muslim perspective

As the tragedies continue to mount from Russia's February invasion of its European neighbour,a Muslim group with historical ties to Ukraine is speaking up. The Manitoba Islamic Association hosted a virtual discussion with Muslim Council of Ukraine President Sheikh Seyran Aryfov,who is in Lviv,in an effort to give the public a new perspective on the war Sunday afternoon. The first documented emergence of Islamic culture in Ukraine came in the 19th century,but Ukraine's southern region of Crimea was once governed by descendants of the great Genghis Khan centuries before.
