FOUR YEARS INTO WAR,
UKRAINE CONTINUES TO SUFFER

As conflict continues to claim lives and disrupt society across Ukraine,
Samaritan’s Purse is on the ground,
providing aid in some of the hardest-hit areas.

As conflict continues to claim lives and disrupt society across Ukraine, Samaritan’s Purse is on the ground, providing aid in some of the hardest-hit areas.

Russian military forces launched attacks across Ukraine in the early morning hours of February 24th, 2022.

Over 6.5 million people have left Ukraine and remain forcibly displaced.

In eastern Ukraine, Viktoriia and her husband have been grateful recipients of our bags of food over an extended period of time because they are starting over.

An enemy missile struck their apartment building at 5:20 a.m. on February 24, 2022, destroying the nest they had worked hard to create for themselves over decades. The couple escaped with little but breath.

“The war turned me back to God, I understand that without His help and the support of the Christian organization Samaritan’s Purse, I would not be able to overcome all the troubles brought to us by this war.”

As a Samaritan’s Purse staff member observed, “Viktoriia is sure that it is very important to encourage other people…during such a hard time. It is not a time to give up; it is a time to inspire others to do good.”

Please pray for peace in Ukraine. Pray also for continued relief to get to people in great need through Samaritan’s Purse and our ministry partners. Finally, pray for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed in this embattled region.

Samaritan’s Purse remains in the embattled nation where we have served since the beginning of the conflict. Our staff and partners are supplying bags of food to families near the frontlines in order to curb the ache of hunger and encourage them to persevere.

IMPACT STORIES

The war took a personal turn for Ivan when an artillery rocket destroyed his home. Samaritan’s Purse and its partners have repaired nearly 4,000 homes - including Ivan’s - providing shelter from Ukraine’s brutal winters.

“Thank you to everyone who does not leave people like me alone. Because of you, I have hope—I returned home.”

- Ivan -

Alexander lives quite close to the war’s frontlines, which means constant shelling, sleepless nights, and ongoing danger mark his days. The repeated gifts of groceries from Samaritan’s Purse - given in Jesus’ name - provide life-saving relief.

“Your help makes a real difference. Because of it, I have money left to buy medications.”

- Alexander -

Yet the war continues, and nearly 12.7 million people
are in desperate need for humanitarian aid.
