The Ukraine war is entering its third year of daily bombardment. Homes, churches and businesses are ruined. The conflict is in the ‘Grey Zone’ between western Ukraine, held by the army, and the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk regions held by separatist forces. Those who could flee the Grey Zone have left. Those remaining are the most vulnerable - families with children, widows, the elderly, the sick, people with disabilities, and those displaced by conflict. Most factories have closed, miners have not been paid for seven months, and people can’t support themselves. Life is hard. There are no government pensions or social security, and some towns lack water. In November temperatures plummet to -20°C (-4°F). People cannot afford coal or gas for heating. The winter temperatures will kill. Western Ukraine churches have provided basic crops in season - potatoes, tomatoes, cabbages and carrots. Russian churches are providing food in eastern Ukraine, prioritising elderly church members, but they do not have the resources to help all who are in need.
