300 days of war!
Week in review:
Unfortunately, this week did not pass without a scary message. A friend lost her husband in the fighting in Bakhmut, two more Ukrainian girls have to grow up without a father because of this insanity. Also this week, after a new mass missile attack, our headquarters were again without power for two days. But the work continues anyway, because in Ukraine there may be no power, but there is NEVER darkness.
God’s light of love and hope, which we will celebrate in the coming days with Christmas, burns brighter than ever in thousands of undefeated hearts in our team, which continues to be active and selflessly deployed every day. And God opens doors: World Food Programs, thanks to which we distribute 300,000 food packages monthly in the Donetsk region, have expanded support to other areas.
We have received resources to equip 30 more centers for internal refugees. And we’re preparing Christmas parties in 7 different cities in a war zone for over 3000 children. Many thanks for all the support!
300 days of war, but we made it through the first threshold towards spring. From today the days are getting longer again, the darkness has already begun to soften. 68 more days until spring begins.
US imposes new sanctions on Russia

The U.S. Department of the Treasury on Thursday released a list of new sanctions against Russia, which includes ten Russian companies and research institutions related to the marine technology sector.
That’s according to a Specially Designated Nationals list update posted on the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
In particular, the list includes JSC Kontsern Morinformsistema Agat, NRC Kurchatov Institute Crism Prometey, JSC Battery Company Rigel, Central Research Institute of Marine Engineering, Concern Avrora, Central Research Institute Concern Elektropribor and other institutions.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a statement on Thursday, clarifying the introduction of new restrictions against Russia.
“In the wake of Russian naval operations against Ukrainian ports, including those that are providing much-needed food and grain to the world, the United States today is imposing sanctions on Russian naval entities,” Blinken said.
He added that the United States would use all appropriate measures to deter Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.
“These accountability measures underscore a simple message: the Kremlin must end its brutal campaign against Ukraine,” Blinken said.
Intercepted Russian soldier call: ’Five of them raped a girl. Then they killed her.’

This was reported to Radio Svoboda project “Pryazovia News” by Mayor Volodymyr Kovalenko.
Russian military mines infrastructure and surroundings of Severodonetsk
https://censor.net/en/news/3384794/russian_military_mines_infrastructure_and_surroundings_of_severodonetsk
Russian occupation forces are mining the infrastructure, as well as the outskirts of Severodonetsk.
The head of the military administration of the city, Oleksandr Striuk, reported this on the air of the telethon, Censor.NET informs.
“We have information about mines being mined at certain infrastructure and medical facilities,” said Struiuk.
In addition, the occupiers continue to loot empty apartments and take valuables out of the city. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3384794
“The left bank of Dnipro and the territory of the city are mined. I know that in the settlements that are inland from the shore in the direction of the Crimea and belong to the Novokakhovka community, there are appropriate installations at the intersections of the streets, which from time to time have recently been shooting towards the settlements on the right bank (of the Dnipro - Ed.) towards the liberated territory of Kherson region,” he said.
According to Kovalenko, most people have left the city, and those who remain try to avoid contacts with the occupation forces. He stressed that the number of Russian troops on the territory of Nova Kakhovka is much less now than before the de-occupation of the right-bank part of Kherson region.
“Russians have become less active in terms of contact with people. They have become more active in terms of removal (of property - Ed.) and theft. This is the removal of equipment from medical institutions, educational institutions. From private outlets, including freezers, refrigerators. They mostly pay attention to this,” said the mayor of Nova Kakhovka.
It should be reminded that Ukrainian authorities reported about mining of various objects on the right bank of Kherson region by Russian troops. Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denys Monastyrskyi reported that there is a high level of mined roads, objects, including residential buildings in the de-occupied Kherson region.

Funny you should talk about prayers for a country where Zelensky has arrested priests and shutdown Christian churches.
Get me off your list
Much is being made about not much - according to Russia only 60 some square feet were involved and no real damage was done.
