The event was organised by the initiative group “Vyrii” with the support of the “Association of Families of Defenders of Azovstal”. Similar actions are planned over the weekend in a number of foreign cities, including Berlin, Krakow, Istanbul, Tbilisi, Amsterdam, Riga, London.

The Ministry of Defense says that a separate structure is being launched in the Armed Forces of Ukraine – the chaplain service. The main task is to meet the spiritual needs of the military and maintain their morale. Chaplains are trained in a special training program.
