Three years of war have increased the spiritual needs of soldiers in Ukraine. Military chaplains are at their side day after day, helping them to bear their suffering. ACN heard from chaplains about how they bring God’s love and presence into the midst of death and destruction.

Despite the danger, a Brazilian missionary priest has stayed in Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Fr Lucas Perozzi thanks ACN for the help it keeps providing, and remains committed to spreading the Gospel.

For two years, Bishop Vitaly Krivitskiy of the Latin Diocese of Kyiv-Zhytomyr has been living in a time of war. Faced with a distraught population, he is organising his parishes into sanctuaries of faith and preparing his priests to offer “spiritual first aid” to soldiers at the front.
