The chaplain of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine visited military units protecting Ukraine on the border with Belarus.

This was reported on August 16th on the Facebook page of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine.

Recently, Yakiv Syniakov, the chaplain of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine, visited military units on the border with Belarus. During his visit, he provided spiritual and psychological support to Ukrainian defenders.

According to him, while defending Ukraine, facing the enemy directly, and being in extremely challenging conditions, the defenders especially need spiritual and psychological support. Spiritual conversations, prayers, and discussions about values help military personnel find inner strength and move forward despite difficulties.

Last month, Yakiv Syniakov also visited the Belarusian border to support Ukrainian military personnel and honor the memory of Holocaust victims near a monument near the village of Bakhiv.
