🌾 What we thank God for:

• Thank God for the fire of prayer, which is constantly supported by thousands of intercessors both in Ukraine and abroad. Thank God for the faith that does not fade under the pressure of circumstances.

❤️ What we thank God for:

• We thank God that among today’s challenges in Ukraine, when the war continues in our territories, in the information space, in the hearts of people, there is the Church of Christ, which serves people as a guide to the Savior Jesus Christ, who is our hope and unshakable foundation.
• We are thankful for positive changes in the educational sector in accordance with the requirements of the time. Thus, Ukrainian schoolchildren after completing the 9th grade will have more opportunities to choose their future career and combine general education with the acquisition of professional skills.
• Two Ukrainian teenagers, who were under Russian occupation for a long time, were able to return to the territory controlled by Ukraine. The operation was carried out within the framework of the presidential initiative with the participation of human rights activists and volunteers.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 1 tank, 11 armored combat vehicles, 424 units of automotive equipment.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• The Russians struck Mykolaiv. They destroyed a market in the Dnipropetrovsk region with guided aerial bombs. They dropped bombs on Sloviansk.
• The Russia’s monthly war expenses have already exceeded the annual budget of the entire higher education system and continue to grow. Currently, Russia spends half of its entire budget on military needs. In addition, the Russian President signed a decree to increase the size of the Russian army up to 2 million 399 thousand people.
• May 2026 in Ukraine became the deadliest for civilians since the beginning of the war. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine recorded at least 274 deaths. 1,763 people were injured.
• Ukraine is facing a deepening demographic crisis: the population has shrunk to less than 29.5 million.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for those people who are engaged in anti-corruption activities in certain government positions in the country. We pray for God’s protection over them and their families and for God’s support so that they can continue to fight evil in the places where the Lord has placed them.

• Despite the threats and the disappointing forecasts of economic experts, we pray for the stabilization of the Ukrainian economy. For the leaders of the country’s economic sector, so that they take decisions in favor of the interests of the state.

• We continue to pray in unity for the return of as many Ukrainian children as possible. Currently, Ukrainian state authorities are searching for more than 20,000 children who were deported to Russia or forcibly displaced from the occupied territories. We pray for systematic work on the return of our children, and for the consolidation of efforts with international institutions.

• Ukraine continues to lose population due to war, migration, and natural decline. According to expert estimates, by the beginning of 2026, fewer than 29.5 million people live in government-controlled territories, which indicates one of the deepest demographic crises in the history of independence. We pray that God will save us from extermination, that the country will implement a state policy aimed at supporting families, stimulating the birth rate, returning Ukrainians from abroad, and creating conditions for the long-term development of communities.

• We pray that church communities will operate in every town and village, that the Word of God will spread and touch the hearts of people. We also pray for our brothers and sisters who have gone abroad, that no one will be lost, but will find a church for themselves, a place to serve.

«Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.»

🇺🇦 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for equipping us, as intercessors, with the necessary spiritual weapons, so that at this very time we can stand in prayer for our land and people, speak out against the wiles of the devil, and fulfill God’s commission.
• The Ukrainian military has achieved local successes at once in two areas of the front: in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.
• The Armed Forces of Ukraine have admitted to operation a robotic hardware and software complex for remote search for explosive objects. This is a modern unique development of Ukrainians, designed for demining territories with minimal risks for the operator.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• The occupiers have again attacked Kharkiv and Odessa.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• As of today, the Russian aggression against Ukraine has become longer than one of the largest military conflicts of the 20th century – World War I, which lasted 1568 days. Russia’s full-scale invasion has long gone beyond the boundaries of a regional conflict. It has affected global security, the economy, energy markets and international relations. The symbolic number of 1568 days reminds us of the scale of the war that continues in the heart of Europe and continues to take the lives of military and civilians every day. Let us not stop praying for its end.

• Russian attacks continue to take the lives of civilians, and objects and places that have no military significance are under attack. Children are increasingly becoming victims of war. We pray that the protection of civilians will be one of the key priorities of the international community, that the facts of attacks on civilians will receive proper assessment and response from international institutions, and not just passive observation and expression of concern.

• We support our defenders in prayer. We beg God for every precious soul that it will not die, but be saved.

• We pray for a change in approaches to mobilization and its direction in a legal direction. For exposing corruption in this system and bringing to justice for the crimes committed.

• We pray for those people and organizations that help return Ukrainian children. For expanding their opportunities and increasing the number of children returned to their homeland.

• We pray that we, as Christians, will submit ourselves to God in all things, knowing what His will is for each individual and for the country. That we will not be conformed to this world with its sins, but will be ready for the soon coming of our Lord.

«…We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself…But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.»

So let us pray because this is the sphere of influence where the Lord has placed us and where only the Church can act. Therefore, let us be filled with His Spirit, so that we may have strength, see the unseen and not faint.

We pray that this bill will go through approvals and public discussions.

• Currently, the issue of attracting foreign workers to the domestic labor market is very sensitive in society. We pray for priority in replenishing the labor market primarily with Ukrainians, and attracting foreign workers as an additional tool. For the development of programs for the return of Ukrainians from abroad. For expanding employment opportunities for youth, women, veterans, people with disabilities, internally displaced persons and senior citizens by ensuring their access to retraining programs, professional orientation and adapted jobs.

«Although the peoples roar like the roar of surging waters, when he rebukes them they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweed before a gale. In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone! This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us.»

• We pray for the leaders of our country, that they may first of all have the fear of God, because this is the beginning of wisdom. That they may understand their own responsibility and be instruments in God’s hands for good. That they may defend the interests of their country and their people. That they may contribute to stopping the bloodshed on our land.

• Our prayer today is for the defenders, those who left their usual peaceful affairs and went to defend. We bless every soldier, commander, we pray for God’s protection, His guidance.

• We pray for the higher education system in Ukraine. The decrease in the number of potential applicants in Ukraine due to the war and migration processes will soon lead to the inevitable closure or forced merger of some higher education institutions. We pray that Ukrainian universities will be able to go through a deep transformation and adapt to new realities and not lose their scientific potential. That they can offer new educational formats.

• We pray that the Good News will become salvation for the people in our country. May Jesus Christ become their Savior, the One who frees them from pain, despair, and disbelief. May the churches in Ukraine be a pure voice of truth of God.

«Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Blessed are those whose strength is in you…”

🌱 What we thank God for:

• The VI Prayer Breakfast was held in Lviv with the participation of US diplomats, military and clergy. The main goal of the spiritual event was social unity around the support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, honoring the memory of fallen Heroes and strengthening international solidarity in times of war. We are grateful that during the war, prayer is the unifying force of different social groups in our society.
• Four more children were returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine from the occupied part of the Kherson region. These are two boys and two girls aged 6 to 17.
• Ukraine is increasingly using the latest electronic warfare systems as a cheaper alternative to expensive Western missiles for air defense. The system does not physically destroy air targets, but interferes with their navigation.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 3 tanks, 5 armored combat vehicles, and 302 vehicles.

🔥 Threats remain:

• The Russians struck Dnipro and Pavlograd in the Dnipropetrovsk region. They shelled Dergachi in the Kharkiv region. They dropped five air bombs on Kramatorsk.
• Russia has stated that they will continue to strike “in response” at Kyiv. The Kremlin plans to officially warn Western countries about future shelling of the Ukrainian capital.
• In Kyiv, as a result of a massive Russian attack on May 24, about 300 objects were damaged, including almost 150 residential buildings.
• The threat of invasion from Belarus remains.
• Russia has recruited Africans from 36 countries for the war against Ukraine.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• According to official information, the coming days may be very difficult for Ukraine: Russia is preparing a powerful attack on Kyiv, while Ukraine is experiencing a serious shortage of air defense missiles needed to intercept ballistic targets. We pray for the protection of Kyiv and people. God is our only hope. May the criminal plans of the organizers and their executors not be realized.

• We pray for people in power with these words from the Holy Scripture: “Thus says the Lord: Keep justice and do righteousness… Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds fast to it… who keeps his hand from doing any evil!” (Isaiah 56:1, 2). We pray that these will be people of honour, who fear God and do no evil. We pray for the cleansing of the power from corruption.

• We pray for the physically and psychologically wounded and crippled by the war. May the Lord heal, may His love give hope. May people’s hearts be filled with faith in the One who has already died and resurrected for them, who gives peace and hope.

• Over the past 24 hours, 1,133 applications for compensation and restoration of destroyed housing were submitted in Kyiv and the region. We pray that people who have lost their homes or whose houses and apartments have been damaged are not left alone with their problem. That people will actually receive assistance through state compensation mechanisms.

• We pray that preparations for winter are already underway, that people will be provided with heat. For proper repair of the CHP, for the allocation of funds for repair work. We pray that the funds are truly directed to their intended purpose.

• We pray that our hearts may be cleansed of all that prevents us from clearly seeing and hearing well what the Spirit is telling the Church to do today. We pray that in this difficult time, Christians may know more of God’s depth and act in the power of the Holy Spirit.

«The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”»
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

❤️ What we thank God for:

• We thank God for the unity and solidarity of different churches in prayer for our country within the framework of the Fasting and Prayer Marathon.

• Ukraine managed to record and implement several unique cases of the return of native children from the territory of Russia even after they went through the procedure of official adoption by Russian families.
• This month, the United Bible Societies celebrated eight decades of their global ministry. The main event of the anniversary was the publication of an epochal declaration, which proclaims a renewed commitment to make the Holy Scriptures accessible to the younger generation around the world in times of deep moral crisis and global instability.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 5 tanks, 5 armored combat vehicles, and 201 units of automotive equipment.

• A massive attack on Naftogaz facilities in the Kharkiv and Poltava regions lasted for more than 24 hours. Significant damage to equipment and large-scale fires were reported.

• Today, Russian criminals again hit Kyiv and the region with missiles. Many victims. For various reasons, we cannot help them physically, but we can pray for them. And we know that miracles will happen. Miracles of healing, restoration, comfort and supernatural help. Let us pray!

• Our daily prayer support is for the soldiers. We ask for God’s help for our defenders, for His protection and defense. May the Lord lead them through His corridors of invulnerability.

• We pray for the containment of prices for food products and utilities, for the elimination of excessive pressure on business. About state support for the most vulnerable segments of the population.

• We pray that everyone in our country will have unhindered access to medical services, medicines, food and clean water. After all, due to the war in Ukraine, more than 40% of the country’s population needs humanitarian aid. We also pray for the possibility of providing psychological support to those people who need it urgently. May no one be left alone with their problems.

•  We pray that Ukrainians who were left without housing due to destruction or demolition will have their homes restored. That appropriate state programs will work, that funds will be allocated for this. That the assistance will be real and tangible.

• We pray for unity between different churches in Ukraine. May the Gospel and the Great Commission be a unifying force for God’s people, may attention be focused on the salvation of souls.

«I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.»

🇺🇦 What we thank God for:

• In Andrushivka in Zhytomyr region and in Kryukivshchyna in Kyiv region churches gathered families of displaced persons and locals for family holidays. Such holidays are critically important for the integration of IDP families into new communities and psychological support. We are grateful for the churches, which are now becoming centers of unity and assistance.
• Currently, a small number of military personnel have been gathered on the border with Ukraine from the Belarusian side, who do not pose a threat of a full-fledged invasion.
• Over the four years of war, Ukraine has created one of the most effective systems in the world to counter kamikaze drones “Shahed”, and its military technologies are increasingly attracting the attention of allies in the Middle East and the West. Ukrainian forces are already capable of shooting down up to 97% of Iranian drones, which have become the basis of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 5 tanks, 5 armored combat vehicles, and 201 vehicles.

‼️Threats remain:

• Russians hit a funeral procession on the outskirts of the city of Sumy with a drone. They attacked Poltava and hit Balaklia in the Kharkiv region with drones.
• After the war, Ukraine may face a new demographic threat, namely the departure of men to their families who are already abroad. The risk will increase if people in Ukraine do not have stable jobs and housing, and families abroad already have an appropriate social base for life.
• Russia is preparing for testing the nuclear cruiser Admiral Nakhimov, which could become a replacement for the outdated flagship of the fleet and a symbol of the restoration of the Russia’s naval power.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for the reduction of the enemy’s offensive potential, their demoralization. May any incentive to fight be lost. We pray that the Lord will protect us from people of violence who plan evil in their hearts, that the Lord will preserve us from the hands of the wicked.

• We pray for the strengthening of Ukraine’s positions in the international arena, as well as for the strengthening of our positions in foreign policy activities, for the expansion of the country’s security capabilities.

• We pray for our defenders, so that no one will perish, but have eternal life. May the Lord guide, help, preserve and support everyone.

• We support in prayer the relatives of servicemen who have gone missing or are in captivity. May the Lord be their strength and inspiration, may the unknown not take away peace, but hope from God and prayer to Him comfort hearts.

• The demographic crisis in Ukraine is truly threatening. It is important to pray for the implementation of systemic strategic decisions in Ukraine that would allow minimizing demographic risks and mitigating threats, ensuring balanced long-term population reproduction and forming demographic stability. We also pray for the formation of an environment in our country favorable for the birth and upbringing of children.

• We pray that in this thick darkness the light of the Church of Christ shines brightly, that it may be the loud voice of God. May this light attract souls to God. May people turn to the Lord and come out of the slavery of sin.

«For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.»

😊 What we thank God for:

• On June 11 and 12, Lviv Polytechnic National University will become the main platform for transatlantic academic dialogue. The event will bring together representatives of universities, state institutions, scientific communities, public organizations and the Ukrainian professional diaspora in the United States to strengthen scientific diplomacy and create new technological bridges. The main tasks of the event are to counter Russian disinformation in the United States and attract intellectual capital to the development of Ukraine.
• Five young people were returned from the territories occupied by Russia. Due to pressure from the occupation authorities, fear of persecution and the risk of mobilization, they could not leave safely for a long time.
• The government has decided to hold a competition for the construction of over 1.3 GW of new generating capacity. The purpose of the competition is to strengthen the resilience of the energy system and cover the power deficit after Russian attacks. New capacities will be built in regions where the need is greatest.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 1 tank, 3 armored combat vehicles, and 135 units of automotive equipment.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• The occupiers attacked Kherson and the region. They attacked an enterprise in the Poltava region with drones. In Mykolaiv, a hospital was damaged due to a UAV attack.
• The Ukrainian military is currently recording attempts by the Russian occupiers to advance as close as possible to Sumy.
• The intensity of Russian chemical attacks on the front has rapidly increased. For the first half of 2026, the overall level of use of chemical munitions by the enemy remains stably high along the entire line of contact.
• The Russians attacked the UN humanitarian compound in Dnipro. The aid destroyed by the enemy attack was intended for displaced persons and residents of the frontline regions.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for God’s mercy for our land, for Ukrainians, for a deep awareness of our dependence on God. We rely on God and His protection in this confrontation.

• We pray for the soldiers. May they see His supernatural miracles of protection, healing, love and mercy. May hearts be soft for Christ.

• We pray for the preservation and increase of our unique intellectual capital despite the fact that we have lost many people due to emigration. We pray for the return of this potential or at least for maintaining contact with it. So that there are people who would perceive and implement it as a long-term investment in our country.

• We pray for a reduction in the outflow of Ukrainians abroad. For the creation of favorable conditions for doing business in Ukraine, even during the war, the emergence of new jobs, the construction of mobile housing for displaced persons. For support from the state for its citizens.

• We pray for the futility of the intentions of the occupiers who are committing genocide against our people and trying to sow fear and panic. May the enemy’s attempts to destroy the identity of an entire generation of Ukrainians fail.

• We pray for the Church in Ukraine to be a driving force for positive changes and transformations in our country. That it directs people to Christ, so that they do not rely on human help. Our strength is in God.

«have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.»

🌾 What we thank God for:

•  We thank God for the unshakable foundation, which is the Lord Jesus Christ. All who trust in Him will not be put to shame. We thank God for this hope, for His immutability. We thank Him for His promises and for the victory that we have in Christ.
• Ukraine, together with representatives of the competent authorities of Korea, Malaysia, Namibia, Peru and Paraguay, is working on access of Ukrainian livestock products to the markets of these countries. We thank God for new sales markets as we pray for this.
• Security Service of Ukraine and the Defense Forces are carrying out enhanced security measures in the northern regions of Ukraine. An unprecedented number of forces and means have been involved in the territories bordering Russia and Belarus.
• Italy will provide Ukraine with an additional 10 million euros for restoration work in the energy sector.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 5 armored combat vehicles and 202 units of automotive equipment.

⚡️Threats remain:

• Russia launched a massive strike on Sumy. They attacked Chernihiv region and Dnipro.
• Russia has already delivered nuclear ammunition to field storage points in Belarus as part of exercises.
• More than 700 Azov servicemen have been in Russian captivity for the fifth year. Russia is systematically removing corps fighters from exchange lists and does not want to return brigade servicemen due to the demonization of Azov servicemen in Russia.
• ​​Ukraine has been recording abnormally high volumes of exports of certain categories of goods from the EU to a number of third countries for a long time. Some of this product continues to end up in Russia, so the existing mechanisms for controlling and preventing re-export are currently insufficient.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for the establishment of Christian values ​​in our country, for a widespread awareness that only submission to God breaks the shackles and leads to freedom. That radical changes in Ukraine are possible only if we turn to God.

• Ukraine has sent a new large-scale package of documents to the International Criminal Court, which contain irrefutable evidence of the Kremlin’s war crimes. We pray that these documents will be considered, so that the systemic crimes and actions of the occupiers, in accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law, will be qualified as war crimes and crimes against humanity. That the criminals will be punished for their actions.

• We pray for the improvement of the sky defense system, for the change of the air defense system, which involves both the deployment of forces and the centralization of management before the appointment of responsible persons in the regions, and the formation of a permanent structure instead of temporary solutions. For an increase in the level of interception of enemy air targets. By the way, over the past 4 months the effectiveness of shooting down shaheeds by interceptor drones has doubled, and this despite the increase in the number of enemy attacks by 35%.

• We pray for those at the front. May everyone receive protection, strength, faith, healing and salvation from God. We also pray for prisoners of war, especially the Azovs, whom the Russians are constantly crossing out of the exchange lists and do not want to return. May the Lord guide them through this difficult ordeal, may the doors of the prisons open.

• We pray for the filling of the ranks of chaplains who are called, devoted to God, with a sincere desire to help military personnel and their families. We bless those chaplains who are already working in this field.

• We pray that the churches in Ukraine will truly be centers of spirituality, purity, and the action of God’s Spirit. That they will be filled with people who are born again and become disciples of Christ.

💛💙 What we thank God for:

• The Head of the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience held an official meeting with the prominent Hungarian human rights activist, dissident and leader of the Hungarian Evangelical Brotherhood, Pastor Gabor Ivanyi. The visit of a religious figure of such a scale to Kyiv became a powerful signal of support for Ukraine. And this meeting is a demonstration that true Christian solidarity is above the political disputes of the leaders of states.
• A round table was held, at which leading demographers, economists and sociologists presented the agreed version of the Strategy of the State Migration Policy of Ukraine until 2035. This document is the result of three years of scientific work and expert discussions aimed at overcoming the most acute demographic and personnel crisis in the history of modern Ukraine. Following the roundtable, scientists sent an official appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with a demand to take into account the provisions of the Strategy when forming an updated state policy.
• Ukraine will begin receiving the first payments on a 90 billion euro loan from the EU in June. The European Commissioner signed a memorandum on EU macro-financial assistance to Ukraine.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 1 tank, 2 armored combat vehicles, 1 helicopter, and 268 units of automotive equipment.

• According to intelligence, the occupiers are planning offensive operations in the Chernihiv-Kyiv direction.
• During the war, Russia destroyed 46 passenger cars of Ukrzaliznytsia. 40 railway workers died in the line of duty.

• Russian aggression against Ukraine continues to take the lives of civilians with increasing intensity. At a meeting of the UN Security Council, it was announced that during April alone, at least 238 civilians died from Russian strikes, 1,404 people were injured of varying severity. We pray for a more active and effective involvement of the international community in covering these bloody events, for pressure from peacekeeping forces on those on whom strategic decisions depend. For the end of this bloody war.

• We pray for the prevention of an offensive by the occupiers in the Chernihiv-Kyiv direction. About Ukraine’s readiness for a possible expansion of the war across the northern border. In particular, about strengthening this direction, about additional defense measures that would make it impossible to implement any of the offensive scenarios. In addition, about involving the diplomatic front, namely, preparing additional measures of diplomatic influence on Belarus, which Russia can use as a springboard for a new invasion.

• We pray for the leaders of our country, the military leadership, so that they have wisdom, prudence and the fear of God in every decision they make.

• As usual, we pray for our defenders. We ask that the Lord warm every heart, fill it with His love, strengthen, support and protect.

• The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine reports on Russia’s plans to intensify an information campaign aimed at destabilizing the situation in Ukraine and weakening international support for Kyiv. In addition, it is planned to involve the media in the Western information space to spread the narratives needed by the Kremlin. We pray that these plans will not be implemented, so that Ukraine, can develop a plan to counter these intentions, including abroad.

• We pray that the Church will be a guide to Christ, that people will trust it. May God’s light spread through the Church and may as many souls as possible be taken from the darkness of this world.

🌻 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for every meeting at which important issues regarding the establishment of peace in our country are raised. Thank God for new agreements at the highest level and for those people who are peacemakers.
• Ukrainian farmers have sown 4.97 million hectares of grain and leguminous crops, which is 83% of the projected area.
• In the front-line regions, the construction of anti-drone defense has been doubled. Currently, more than 1,170 km of roads are protected.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• Russian aggressors fired a ballistic missile at the central part of the city of Pryluky in Chernihiv region. They also attacked Naftogaz facilities in Chernihiv region. They dropped a guided bomb on Kramatorsk in Donetsk region. They struck Kharkiv and Kharkiv region. They attacked Kryvyi Rih. They struck the port of Izmail in Odessa region.
• Russia has begun large-scale nuclear exercises.
• China is much more directly involved in the war than previously thought. Last year, China secretly trained about 200 Russian servicemen on its territory, some of whom participated in hostilities in Ukraine.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray that the Lord will be with us and save our people from destruction. We pray that the destroyer will be bound and deprived of power. We ask that the Lord help us to recognize His power and authority and rise from the ashes.

• We pray for the creation of an environment favorable to private investment in our country. For the proper use of funds provided to Ukraine. For the implementation of truly effective changes that would lead to a reduction in corruption and various abuses.

• We pray for the continued provision of international assistance, which remains critically important for ensuring the functioning of our state, supporting macro-financial stability and financing key social and humanitarian needs. We also pray for the creation of conditions for the use of frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine and a mechanism for urgently covering the needs for the restoration of the damaged energy system.

• Our prayer support is for soldiers on various fronts. We pray for their supernatural strength in these difficult circumstances, for their seeking God in the face of death.

• We pray for new opportunities to exchange prisoners. We pray for those who are waiting and believing in their freedom and return to their homeland. May the Lord be a support for everyone, may He strengthen so that no one loses hope.

• In Lviv, a study was recently presented on how different generations see God and the Church differently and how this can affect the future of the Church. The study figures show that 0% of young people believe that the Church should only deal with religion. Instead, 45.3% expect “care for the families of the deceased” and 36.0% – “spiritual and psychological rehabilitation”. Therefore, society has a clear request for a change in the Church’s strategy: from declarative activities to building a powerful ecosystem of support. We pray that the Church becomes a centre of social stability.

🌾What we thank God for:

• As part of the celebration of the Day of the City, Kamianets-Podilskyi once again became a center of family and spiritual unity, where the March for Family Values ​​was held. This year’s march once again proved: despite the war and challenges, the values ​​of father, mother and child remain an unchanging reference point for both the residents of Kamianets-Podilskyi and for all of Ukraine.
• A large-scale prayer festival “Rededication 250: National Anniversary of Prayer, Praise and Gratitude” was held on the National Alley in Washington. The event, which gathered thousands of believers, is timed to the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress and preparations for the great anniversary of US independence, which will be celebrated in July 2026.
• Ukrainian military liberated the settlement of Stepnohirsk in Zaporizhia region.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 1 tank, 5 armored combat vehicles, 1 helicopter, 220 units of automotive equipment.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• Russia launched a combined strike on the territory of Ukraine using strike UAVs and ground-based missiles. The invaders massively attacked Dnipro. They struck residential buildings in Odessa.
• Russia attacked a Chinese merchant ship in the territorial waters of Ukraine.
• Russia and Belarus began joint exercises with nuclear strike practice. The Kremlin is de facto legitimizing the spread of nuclear weapons in the world and creating a dangerous precedent for other authoritarian regimes.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• The main theme of the prayer festival “Rededication 250: A National Anniversary of Prayer, Praise, and Gratitude “ in the USA was a call for “a spirit of humility, fasting, and prayer” – the very values ​​on which the nation was founded in 1776. The events in the USA also have a deep resonance for the Ukrainian context. So let us pray for our nation, which is going through a crucible of trials. For repentance and a return to biblical values, which is a foundation for the survival and prosperity of any country that strives for true freedom.

• We pray for the victims in Dnipro. For God’s help for people who find themselves in difficult circumstances, who suffer physically and mentally. For providing timely assistance to every person. For the unity and indifference of Ukrainians to those who are currently in trouble.

• We pray for the cleansing of our country from corruption, which also weakens it from within. For the adoption of appropriate legislative changes, the effectiveness of mechanisms for identifying and punishing corrupt officials and bribe-takers. For the implementation of real reforms in various areas.

• We pray for the agricultural sector, which is suffering significant losses due to the war. For the creation of a favorable investment climate to attract investments in the development and restoration of domestic equipment production. For the simplification of doing business and the granting of permits, and the reduction of bureaucratic procedures.

• Our prayerful support is needed by churches in the occupied territories, which are experiencing obstacles in their ministry and are facing repressive measures from the occupying authorities. We pray above all for God’s protection and His favor so that they may continue to do His will, as well as for the involvement of the international community in the legal protection of our brothers and sisters.

• The voice of prayer, the voice of peace is able to change the atmosphere. And when there are many of them, the resonance intensifies. The voices of the Intercessors of the Fasting and Prayer Marathon do not subside: Chernivtsi region passed the baton to Odessa region.
• An event was held at the National Defense University of Ukraine that defines new standards for training the Ukrainian army. The scientific seminar “Spiritual Stability of Personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine” brought together leading scientists, military chaplains and officers to discuss the draft Instruction for Assessing Spiritual Stability. The state and the army officially recognize: psychology or discipline alone is not enough. A spiritual dimension is needed. And the creation of the official Instruction for assessing spiritual resilience is a recognition that prayer, faith and value orientations are a strategic resource for national security.
• A Ukrainian film about the Russian invasion won an award in Cannes.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 1 tank, 4 armored combat vehicles, and 325 units of automotive equipment.

• The decree of the Russian President on the simplified granting of Russian citizenship to residents of unrecognized Transnistria can be used to mobilize the local population for war against Ukraine.

🙏 Prayer needs:

•  As the Church of God, as the voice of God on this earth, we pray for the end of this war. For the readiness of the Body of Christ lead the people to Christ. We pray that our land will be filled with His glory and power.

• We pray for our soldiers. May the Lord be their support and strength, may His light penetrate the most secret corners of hearts. May His shield of salvation become a saving fence and true protection for everyone.

• We pray for the spread of initiatives in all regions of Ukraine aimed at drawing attention to the importance of family values ​​and supporting the family in wartime, and supporting charitable projects that help families affected by the war. We pray for the healing and strengthening of Ukrainian families.

• We pray for the updating of the IAEA standards for nuclear safety, taking into account the risks that arise during war, for the creation of a separate international mechanism for the protection of civilian nuclear facilities in armed conflicts. For taking into account the experience of Ukraine, which has become unprecedented for the global nuclear safety system and should be used to update the international architecture of nuclear energy protection.

• The EU intends to reduce quotas for steel, which puts Ukraine at risk of losing a significant part of its exports. The European Union remains a key sales market for Ukrainian metallurgy, and Ukraine has no alternative directions for selling steel. We pray for the settlement of this issue, for a possible revision of quotas in view of the difficult circumstances in which Ukraine finds itself, and for the allocation of a separate quota for it.

❤️What we thank God for:

• Today, an event of national importance took place at the National Museum of History of Ukraine. It was the presentation of a facsimile edition of the Turiv Gospel of the 11th century. This manuscript is one of the oldest testimonies of the existence of the Kyiv book school of the times of Rus-Ukraine and the high level of Christian culture of our ancestors. The Turiv Gospel reminds us that the Ukrainian land accepted the Word of God over a thousand years ago, becoming part of the great European Christian civilization. This is the source of our identity and invincibility.
• We thank God for every church that prays and supports. After all, there are two battlefields – physical and spiritual. And the mission of the church is not an option, but an essence. We are thankful for all intercessory prayers.
