• Prayer is the driving force of future events and important resource given to the Church so that God’s will is done on earth. That is why we do not stop praying within the framework of the Marathon of Fasting and Prayer. Each region stands on a prayer watch for a week, in which churches of different confessions participate. Next week, Donetsk region will pray, having received the baton from Lviv region.
• Ukrainian air defense neutralized 167 enemy drones.
• Repair work has begun on the reserve power transmission line connecting Zaporizhzhia NPP with the Ukrainian power system, which started within the framework of the next ceasefire concluded with the mediation of the IAEA.
• In Poland, in just three days, they collected about 13 million hryvnias to purchase generators for Kyiv. Now the Poles plan to purchase even more generators, sleeping bags and fuel for the capital’s residents.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 5 tanks, 5 armored combat vehicles, and 105 units of automotive equipment.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• The occupiers struck the Dnipropetrovsk region and the energy infrastructure of the Odessa region.
They attacked the Khmelnytskyi region, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, and the suburbs of Sumy with drones.
• This week, the Russian military has used more than 1,300 strike drones, about 1,050 guided aerial bombs, and 29 missiles of various types against Ukraine.
• In the South-Slobozhansk direction, the Russians are trying to realize their numerical superiority and break through the defense in Vovchansk.
• In 2025, Russia intensified the use of the occupied Mariupol seaport, presenting it as “restoration”. While in reality it is about the illegal appropriation of Ukrainian infrastructure and its integration into the logistics system of the aggressor state.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray that the Russian evil that came to our land with the war will be defeated. That Ukraine will be able to recover from the ashes. We pray for the resurrection of our country.

• We pray for the strengthening of our country and its defense capabilities, the ability to protect cities and villages from missile attacks and drones. For the end of this bloodshed.

• We pray for wisdom for all the leaders of our country, may their hearts be filled with the fear of God, so that they do not commit lawlessness.

• Let us not stop praying for the soldiers. May the Lord be a refuge, hope, and a path leading to salvation and eternal life for everyone.

• We pray that programs for the restoration of damaged housing for those left without a roof over their heads will be implemented in Ukraine. For the financing of these programs by international organizations and donor institutions. That these funds will be used for their intended purpose.

• We pray for the strengthening of intercession in churches, because it is the time that the Lord has called us to stand on the walls of spiritual protection. Only with God we will be able to overcome, endure, and pass.

«You are my King and my God. You command victories for Israel. Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name can we trample our foes. I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us.»

💛💙 What we thank God for:

• The presentation of the first complete Ukrainian edition of the Jerusalem Bible took place in Kyiv. This is one of the most authoritative Catholic biblical projects of the 20th century, which combines the translation of the Holy Scriptures with a thorough scientific and theological apparatus. The presented edition is considered an important tool for bishops, priests, theologians, catechists, teachers and students, as well as for all believers who seek a deeper knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. In the conditions of war, the appearance of the complete Jerusalem Bible in the Ukrainian language became not only a scientific, but also a spiritual event of national importance.
• Ukrainian military successfully destroyed a modified enemy drone, which the Russian occupiers equipped with an air-to-air missile. In addition, they hit Russian air defense systems and a drone depot in the occupied Crimea.
• In the coming days, the Czech Republic will transfer to Ukraine fighters capable of shooting down drones during their approach.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 3 tanks, 6 armored combat vehicles, and 115 vehicles.

🔥 Threats remain:

• The occupiers struck a critical infrastructure facility in Kharkiv. It caused very significant damage.
• The Russian occupiers struck one of the Naftogaz enterprises. These are targeted strikes on civilian infrastructure to leave Ukrainians without heat and gas in the cold season.
• In order to force Ukraine to sign unacceptable surrender demands to end the war, Russia is considering the option of attacking strategic facilities in our country’s energy system, namely, electricity transmission substations that power Ukrainian nuclear power plants.
• Russia is postponing the implementation of agreements on the mutual release of prisoners of war reached at the end of 2025.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• Our intelligence warns that Russia is planning a series of strikes on substations of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. The aim of the attacks is to completely disrupt the energy system in order to leave the country without heat and light in the middle of winter. Dear intercessors, let us pray that the enemy’s plans will not be implemented, that God will help to avert this serious threat and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.

• We pray for those people who were left without heating after the enemy attacks. For prompt intervention and providing people with immediate assistance. That all the equipment that was provided as international aid would be used for its intended purpose.

• We pray for our soldiers who, in extremely difficult conditions of cold, hold their positions and oppose the enemy. We bless them, we pray for God’s protection and timely God’s help.

• We pray for the chaplains, for their ministry. May the Lord fill them with strength, so that through them souls may be saved, bodies may be healed, supernatural miracles may occur, so that the Name of God may be glorified.

• We pray for the resumption of the exchange of prisoners of war, for the intervention of third parties to influence the Russian side, which does not want to fulfill the agreements and is delaying this process. Let us support in prayer the Ukrainians who are waiting for their liberation.

• We pray for the Church in Ukraine which serves people, revealing the character and purity of Christ, which is a place of God’s love and hope in this shaky world.

«Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.»

• The year 2025 is coming to an end. Despite the continuation of the war and difficult circumstances, we thank God for guiding us, for giving us strength, for the fact that this year has made us stronger and more enduring, that in Jesus Christ we have a strong unshakable foundation and protection. We thank each intercessor for your prayers, faith, unity, for standing on the walls of spiritual battle, holding your hands raised to Heaven. We thank our God for the past year and trust Him for the next.

• As throughout the entire year that is passing, today, on its last day, we choose prayer. A prayer of gratitude for every day lived, for protection, for the strength to persevere even when it was very difficult. A prayer of repentance for moments of weakness and doubts in God’s power. And a prayer of hope to enter the new year with a pure heart, trust in God and His blessing in every day.

• Prayer is our most powerful weapon. We cannot change people’s hearts, but we can pray to the One who created them. So let us pray “for all men, but especially for rulers and those in authority.” Let us pray “for them, that we may live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence for the Lord. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior. He desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth.”

• We pray that the Lord will help us see the events taking place at this time from a spiritual perspective, to understand today’s historical processes in light of the Word of God. To be strengthened in Him, to proclaim salvation, and to be doers of His will.

We pray for the protection of our cities from attacks. So that Russian terrorists will not be able to use provocations to implement their criminal plans.

• Russia does not abandon its intentions to seize Ukrainian territories, and also continues its attempts to plunge Ukrainian cities and villages into blackouts through massive air attacks.

💛💙 What we thank God for:

• Prayer Breakfasts are traditionally held in different regions of Ukraine. Today, such an event took place in Cherkasy, uniting spiritual leaders, representatives of the authorities and the city community. The prayer event in Cherkasy once again proved that in times of trials, prayer remains the space where unity, hope and strength to move forward are born.
• In this Christmas period, the Interfaith Mobile Group of the Military Chaplaincy Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made a pastoral trip to the East of the country. Chaplains visited combat units to support Ukrainian soldiers with prayer and to convey the Bethlehem Fire of Peace – a symbol of hope and light in times of war.

Russia is using powerful systemic propaganda against Ukraine, which is part of a full-scale hybrid aggression. We pray for effective counteraction to various hostile info-fake and provocative messages. That the enemies will not be able to influence the change in people’s moods and behavior through them, as well as sow panic, division, distrust of the authorities and critical institutions, undermine the morale of society and reduce the effectiveness of the defense and unity of Ukrainians.

• A Christmas procession took place in the central streets and squares of the capital of Ukraine, uniting military families and artists in a joint celebration of the birth of Christ and the memory of the fallen defenders of Ukraine.

• Air alarms will be announced in a new way in Ukraine. Differentiation of the signal by individual districts will help reduce the duration of alarms in those communities where there is no real threat at a particular moment.

At the same time, a significant part of the population is convinced that the development of the state is taking the wrong path.

So that people do not reach a critical point, when the level of uncertainty and disappointment becomes systemic.

• We pray for the creation of favorable conditions in Ukraine for young people, such as obtaining a quality education and further implementation in their country. So that those in power speak to people from a position of constructiveness and motivation.

• We pray for the sanctification of the believers of Ukraine, for the purification of hearts and motives. For unity in the cause of the revival of Ukraine and helping people.

«Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my righteousness be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast…and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”»
Isaiah 56:1-2 ESV

🌞 What we thank God for:

• The book by Ukrainian theologian Valentyn Synyy “Serving God under Siege: How War Changed the Ukrainian Community” was included in the list of winners of the prestigious Christianity Today Book Awards 2025, winning the award in the category covering mission, global church processes and ministry in times of crisis. This is the first time that a book by a Ukrainian author has been recognized at this level in a leading evangelical magazine in the United States. For the Ukrainian christian and academic community, this is an important signal: the voices of Ukrainian Christians living and serving in a state of war are becoming visible in the global evangelical space.
• The Netherlands allocates 35 million euros in funding for various support that will help the Ukrainian defense forces get through the winter.
• The Verkhovna Rada has created a Temporary Investigative Commission to investigate possible violations in the financing of treatment, rehabilitation and prosthetics for military personnel and veterans.
• Germany allocates 100 million euros for the restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Australia and New Zealand are also allocating more than $70 million in aid to Ukraine.
• The President of France, during a meeting with the leader of China in Beijing, proposed introducing a moratorium on Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the winter period.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 3 tanks, 3 armored combat vehicles, and 125 units of automotive equipment.

‼️ Threats remain:

• The Russians struck Odessa and Dnipropetrovsk region.
• Russia does not stop hitting energy facilities. More than 60 thousand consumers in the Donetsk region, more than 51 thousand in the Odessa region and 1.6 thousand in the Dnipropetrovsk region have been cut off.
• In the coming months, Russia will spend a lot of resources on cognitive operations against Ukraine. The goal is to convince Ukrainian society of the inevitability of defeat and the need to capitulate.
• Russian occupiers are illegally transferring Ukrainian children from the occupied territories to the so-called “re-education camps” not only in Russia and Belarus, but also in North Korea.

🙏 Prayer needs:

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

• Our representatives went to the USA for negotiations with the American delegation to discuss a peace plan. We pray for God’s wisdom in resolving these crucial issues for our country, for a balanced approach in making certain decisions.

• We pray for the defenders, for their proper provision in the cold season, so that they have warm clothes and heating devices, so that they are provided with the necessary food. God’s protection over them.

• We pray for drawing the attention of the international community to the problem of the deportation of Ukrainian children and their further “re-education” and the eradication of Ukrainian identity. So that these children have the opportunity to return home and reunite with their families.

• We pray for the counteraction to Russian disinformation aimed at breaking Ukraine’s defense capabilities. For the coordination of actions in this together with international partners. For a reduction of propaganda in the information field.

• We pray that the Church in Ukraine will pray fervently in this difficult time, not to give up. As it is said in the Holy Scriptures:
“Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” (Hebrews 12:3 )

«Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”»
Isaiah 35:3-4 NIV

💛💙 What we thank God for:

• The Council of Ukrainian Christian Churches of Washington State appealed to the US President to increase international pressure on Russia and achieve its unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine. Church leaders emphasized: a just peace is possible only if Moscow is forced to stop aggression and take responsibility for the crimes committed.
• Our military stopped the enemy in a strategically important direction – in Hulyaipole in Zaporizhia.
• ​​The Verkhovna Rada voted for the Budget-2026. It is expected that teachers’ salaries will increase by 30% from January 1 and by another 20% from September 1.
• Germany, Poland and Norway will jointly provide a new support package for Ukraine for a total of $ 500 million, of which $ 200 million will be provided by Germany. And Britain allocates an additional 10 million for the restoration of the Ukrainian energy sector.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 6 tanks, 3 armored combat vehicles, and 47 units of automotive equipment.

🔥 Threats remain:

• The occupiers struck Kharkiv. They attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region with drones.
• Russian troops are approximately 30 kilometers from Zaporizhia.
• ​​Russia is using updated models of “Shaheds”, which pose a serious threat and the number of which will increase.
• As a result of Russian attacks on energy facilities, more than 17.5 thousand consumers in the Kharkiv region, about 5 thousand in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions, as well as consumers in the Kherson region, have additionally lost power.
• The educational process in the occupied territories of Donbas is turning into a tool for preparing young people to participate in military operations. These measures are systemic in nature.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray and bless our country. May it rise from the ashes, may it be strengthened by the power of the Lord. May what wicked people have conceived for evil not come to pass, but be stopped by power from above.

• We pray for the leaders of the country, regional leaders, that they act exclusively within the legal circle. That they be a consolidating force that unites society.

• We pray that the crimes of Russian criminals against peaceful people do not pass by the attention of the world community. After all, Russia constantly claims that it attacks only military facilities. For the provision of real facts of such crimes, for publicity and a reaction to the bloody murders of innocent people.

• We pray for the solution of educational problems, in particular, 40% of Ukrainian schools currently lack teachers. We pray for a solution to this personnel crisis, for the introduction of systemic incentives for this: for example, programs to provide teachers with housing; financial supplements for teachers in rural and remote communities; salary increases; the development of professional education and support for young teachers, etc. We pray that due attention is paid to this strategically important area at the state level.

• Another glaring problem is the demographic crisis. Experts are sounding the alarm because the birth rate in Ukraine has fallen to a historic low: the country is approaching a demographic abyss. We pray that the Lord will not allow the destruction of our nation, that He will help find a way out of this situation. We also pray for the return of our abducted children, of whom, according to official data, more than 19.5 thousand have been deported by Russia since the beginning of the full-scale war. Only 1,625 children have been returned.

• We pray that people in churches today will not be lukewarm, seeking how to spread the Good News, which is hope for the discouraged, the weary, the wounded. After all, the way out is only in Christ.

«I can do all this through him who gives me strength.»
Philippians 4:13 NIV

• The Kremlin announced new massive strikes on Ukraine, in particular, on rear cities and energy infrastructure. We pray for God’s protection, so that the occupiers will not be able to implement these plans, so that there will be no victims.

• We pray for the adoption of the 2026 budget, which remained uncoordinated due to internal disagreements among parliamentarians. Some of them advocate pushing for a general renewal of government, others are focused on demands for reforming law enforcement agencies or making changes to the budget. We pray that this issue will not be delayed, because it is extremely necessary for the country to have the financial plan for the next year.

• We pray for Ukrainian soldiers. May the Lord be the One on Whom they rely and place their hope on. Let them know Him, feel His love, and give Him their hearts.

• We pray for the demining of our territories, as Ukraine ranks fourth in the world in terms of the number of victims of mines. In addition, the pace of demining is decreasing due to lack of funding and the increasing level of danger for sappers. Let us pray for the allocation of funds specifically for these needs, for equipping, perhaps replacing sappers with robotics.

• We pray that the Church of Christ will be strengthened in the Spirit, that it will hear from Him how to pray and how to counteract the forces of evil. May the Lord raise up an army of the faithful who will boldly pray against the forces of darkness.

❤️ What we thank God for:

• Russian troops failed to break through to the city of Gulyaipole in the Zaporizhia region. Our defenders repelled the attacks on the outskirts of the settlement.
