As Vladyka Bohdan said today to wounded Ukrainian soldiers in L'viv: The people of Ukraine wish only to defend their own country and not to take over another people's country.
I pray for relatives and their friends in Ukraine who have been killed, wounded and who have volunteered for the Ukrainian army, even just yesterday.
May the Lord protect them and grant them victory, even against all odds.

Prayers for the peoples of Ukraine and for all those displaced, wounded, and killed in this conflict!
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
Oh Lord, Almighty and Only for us our Ukraine, please, keep by freedom's and the rays of light you set her in light. By light of science and knowledge keep us, your children, enlightened. the pure love to the land you, oh Lord, please, instill. We pray, oh Lord and the Only, for us our Ukraine, please, keep. all of your presents and generosity, you turn to people of ours. Give them the freedom, give them good fate, give them good light, and the happiness, give, oh Lord, people many and many years.
