The trip took place as part of the Mission of Mercy, during which the clergy supported monasteries and communities that continue their ministry amid the realities of war and help refugees.
The humanitarian cargo was delivered to the Holy Dormition Sviatohirsk Lavra, the Skete of St. John of Shanghai, and the St. Sergius Convent.
Aid was also brought to frontline parishes where hot meals are prepared every day, medical assistance is provided, and support is offered to people facing difficult life circumstances.
