The funds raised will be directed towards assisting and evacuating residents from frontline areas.

“Throughout the day, our clergy and parishioners prayed, held workshops for children, and offered refreshments to everyone, which yielded fruitful results. Thanks to your donations, we managed to raise 380,000 hryvnias,” the statement said.
