“The parish will control delivery of funds and transportation of donated medicaments and the things they need. We are obliged to give food and water to those who are hungry and thirsty, dress the wounds and scabs to the sick and injured, save precious lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Rector of the church, ex-secretary of the Odessa Diocese Archpriest Andrey Novikov told Interfax-Religion.
Noting that “scale of the humanitarian disaster in Novorossia is enormous,” he reminded that only for the last days over 30,000 refugees from Ukraine came to the Rostov Region.
“It reminds elimination of Orthodox Serbian Krajina by Croatian neo-Nazi in Croatia in the 1990-s when about 200,000 of Serbs who stayed alive were forced to leave Croatia for Serbia,” the interviewee of the agency said.

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
