In western Russia, diocesan Caritas members are helping mothers and children who have fled Ukraine. Caritas South of Russia (Diocese of Saratov) is now appealing for €90,000 to respond to the influx of refugees.
Caritas Saratov is preparing a relief programme to help those most in need. With support from Caritas Germany, Secours Catholique (Caritas France), Caritas Spain and Caritas Luxembourg, they plan to provide food, bedding, hygiene articles and more.
