The Situation
Russia Invades Ukraine on February 24, 2022
14.5 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes since the conflict began.
4.3 million children have been displaced.
13 million people require humanitarian assistance.
Russia currently occupies approximately 20% of Ukraine, with much of the fighting concentrated in the Donbas region in the east.
Before the war, over 750 members of the Nazarean sister church worshipped across eleven congregations, primarily in western Ukraine. Since the invasion, an estimated 40% of church members have been displaced, with those involved in agriculture facing significant financial challenges.
