Metropolitan Varsonofiy emphasized that the strikes hit residential buildings, hospitals, and social facilities, killing people and leaving dozens injured both in Vinnytsia and other cities of Ukraine.
«I express sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and injured. May the Merciful Lord strengthen all who have suffered losses, grant healing to the wounded, and give strength to endure these grievous trials of war," says the UOC bishop.
As the UOJ reported, in winter, warming stations were organized in the churches of the Vinnytsia Eparchy of the UOC.
