• During the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 19 tanks, 51 units of combat armored vehicles, and 124 units of automobile equipment.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• Russian war criminals attack our country every day. Today they launched 59 attack drones. They hit Poltava region, as a result more than 100 rescuers put out a fire after an attack on an industrial facility. They also attacked Sumy, Kyiv and Kharkiv regions.
• The Russians are conducting assaults in 10 directions. The most difficult situation remains in the Kurakhovo direction, where the Russians tried to break through the defense 45 times.
• An echelon with a North Korean self-propelled artillery unit was spotted in Russia. The Russian army does not use this caliber, so it is likely that the DPRK provided Russia with it and the personnel to maintain such systems.
• The Russian military made an attempt to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kupyansk direction, using soldiers dressed in the uniform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
• The Russians are preparing to return the ships to Sevastopol.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray to God for the fulfillment of His will regarding our country as a spiritual and physical granary. May all evil intentions turn for good, and secret plans and agreements be brought to light. Let the sun of truth rise over our Ukraine.
• We pray for the stabilization of Ukraine’s economic indicators, for support from partners, for the receiving of funds for the restoration of the industries that suffered as a result of the war. We also pray for the eradication of corruption, for increased responsibility for theft at all social levels.
• We pray for supernatural protection, strength of spirit, support from God for everyone who is at the front. We pray for the healing of those who have been injured. About strengthening those who have weakened, who have lost hope and the desire to live on.
• We pray for a solution to the issue of preserving crops, in particular, in vegetable growing. Despite having excellent conditions for the development of vegetable growing and horticulture, such as fertile soils, a favorable climate and proximity to the EU market, Ukraine suffers losses of up to 60% of vegetables due to the lack of vegetable storage facilities. We pray that there would be responsible people who would have the opportunity to change this situation for the better. About the development of this industry, which can become an important element of the recovery of the economy and the development of rural areas.
• We pray that through the Church the Good News will spread and become a salvation for people in our country. So that they do not neglect what Jesus Christ did for everyone on the cross. So that Jesus would become their Savior, become the One who frees them from pain, despair and hopelessness. «He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”» Psalms 46:9-10 NLT
