We all heard explosions this morning. We live amid fear, it's part of everyday life. Kharkiv now looks like Sarajevo during the Balkan war.
Pavlo Goncharuk, an ordinary bishop of the Diocese of Kharkiv-Zaporizhia, said it in an interview with the news program of the Italian Catholic television Tv2000.
"There are those who cry, and there are those who live in basements or in the subway. Others, on the contrary, try to respond by voluntary work, helping others."
"I ask everyone not to forget about us, about Kharkiv, about Ukraine. Kharkiv is 30 km from the border with Russia. Humanitarian aid almost does not reach here. I know we're not alone, but don't forget about us. We lack humanitarian aid.
Winter is approaching, and the temperature will be up to minus 30 degrees. We need stoves, blankets, warm clothes," Bishop Goncharuk addressed the Italian Catholics.
