The believers of the Khmelnytskyi Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church provided tablets, medicines, food, and other essential items to the military personnel of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade, the 112th Separate Territorial Defence Brigade, the 244th Battalion, and the 81st Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the eparchy’s press service, the military recorded a video in which they expressed their gratitude for the assistance.
The equipment was purchased with funds raised during the charity fair "Children Helping Defenders of Ukraine."
It was noted that the tablets are necessary for the safe operations and coordination of the soldiers.
The Khmelnytskyi Eparchy of the UOC, in turn, thanked everyone who contributed to the fundraising efforts in support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
As the UOJ previously reported, persecuted parishes of the UOC's Khmelnytskyi Eparchy celebrated their patronal feast.
