  • 11 March 2022, Vyšné Nemecké, Slovakia: Toys, food and other supplies arranged as giveaways to incoming refugees from Ukraine at the Vyšné Nemecké border crossing between Slovakia and Ukraine. The Vyšné Nemecké border crossing connects Slovakia with the city of Uzhgorod in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February, hundreds of thousands of refugees have crossed the border to Slovakia in search of refuge and shelter from war and an increasingly desperate humanitarian situation. The border crossing at Vyšné Nemecké sees up to some 10,000 refugees cross each day, with faith-based and humanitarian organisations providing immediate support to people as they come into Slovakia. Support onsite includes simple shelter and beds for resting, information services, coordination of onward travel into Slovakia and finding temporary accommodation there, medical and psychosocial support, food, drinks, toys for the children, hygiene items and other necessities.

  • 13 October 2022, Ichnya, Ukraine: Pieces of broken toys lay on the floor in what used to be the children's room in 41-year-old Victoria Hlushko's family home in the village of Bil’machivka. The family lived there until Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and the apartment was destroyed in the fighting that ensued. Inheriting the apartment from her father eight years ago, Victoria lived in the apartment with her husband, their son (3 years) and daughter (13 years) until the day it was destroyed. She recalls the family being just about to enter the apartment when an explosion hit the building as fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces took place at the road outside. They sought shelter in the basement, but as it became filled with smoke, they had to exit through an emergency back door and take shelter in another building in the village. The village of Bil’machivka, a community of just over 500 people north of Ichnya, Chernihiv Oblast, was just on the route taken by Russian military forces as they marched towards Kyiv following the invasion of Ukraine in the early spring of 2022. Many people lost their homes in this period, as fighting and attacks led to houses being either severely damaged, or simply razed to the ground.

  • 24 May 2022, Manychskaya, Russia: An eight-year-old refugee girl from Ukraine sits down to practice mathematics in her family's room at the Russian Orthodox Children’s Shelter in honor of Saint Paraskeva in the village of Manychskaya, in southwest Russia. The shelter currently offers accommodation to a few dozen refugees from the Donbas region of Ukraine, in addition to its regular work in housing and accompanying so-called social orphans — children whose parents are alive and known, but who are currently unable to take care of their children on their own. Following the eruption of war in Ukraine, many refugees from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine have taken refuge across the border in neighbouring Russia. Located close to the border, the Shakhty diocese (Russian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate) receives refugees mainly from the area of Donbas, the majority of whom are women and children. Close to a million people — most of them women and children — have fled from Ukraine to Russia according to mid-May figures from the United Nations (UNHCR) following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
