The Peter and Paul church community in the village of Oleksandriiske, part of the Oleksandriia Eparchy of the UOC, received a letter of thanks from the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the diocesan press service.
Since the beginning of the war, parishioners of the Petro-Pavlov church have produced over 15,000 trench candles for the Ukrainian soldiers.
"Our defenders sincerely thank the parishioners for their active assistance in making trench candles," the statement read.
The diocese also expressed gratitude to all those who, with compassion, contribute to charitable endeavors and actively participate in helping the defenders.
