On September 21, 2024, International Day of Peace, an evacuation vehicle purchased and modified with funds from believers of the Khmelnytskyi Eparchy of the UOC and people of goodwill was sent to the combat zone. This was reported on the diocese's Telegram channel.
The medical evacuation vehicle will be delivered to the frontlines by the volunteer organization "God Is With Us" for the medics of the 112th Brigade, 244th Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"On International Day of Peace, we sincerely thank the believers of our diocese for their charitable efforts aimed at supporting our Armed Forces of Ukraine," said Metropolitan Victor of Khmelnytskyi and Starokostiantyniv, who blessed the vehicle's departure to the front.
As the UOJ previously reported, the spiritual fruits of Christians should be love, said His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry in his Sunday sermon.
