Slovakia, March 2022
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download14 March 2022, Pozdišovce, Slovakia: Slovakia-born pastor Rev. Drahus Oslik and one of many volunteers engaged in supporting incoming refugees from Ukraine prepare supplies in a storage room at the Pozdišovce congregation, for transport to the border crossing at Vyšné Nemecké. Pozdišovce is the closest to the Ukrainian border of all the Lutheran congregations in Slovakia, and so the church here plays a key role in supporting incoming refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine into Slovakia. Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, close to 200,000 Ukrainians have come to seek refuge in Slovakia. The Lutheran church is taking a leading role in hosting and providing support to incoming refugees, both immediately at the border, and medium to long-term by arranging accommodation and shelter, providing food and other support needed.
