My name is Yurii. I am Ukrainian, and I am proud. I used to be shy to say that I am Ukrainian, but not anymore. Now I am honoured to be a part of this vast, brave community fighting for freedom, a society that does not want to be enslaved.

Igor is on the train heading to the border between Hungary and Ukraine. His house in Germany already has 16 young refugees filling it to capacity, but Igor is headed to Hungary to bring back some more.

Here is another interesting face from Ukraine! @calvarychapelternopil runs a soup kitchen to help care for some of the older, isolated people in our community. Often it's the family structure here in Ukraine that cares for the elderly. If that structure isn't available, it can leave people very alone, and vulnerable. It is wonderful to...
