This Monday, the Vatican launched a campaign to collect thermal sweaters to help the population of Ukraine, affected by the arrival of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and the war with Russia.
“The Ukrainian people are going through an emergency, connected not only with the war, but also with the lack of electricity, gas and winter cold. We can help them this Christmas by offering temperature-maintaining thermal sweatshirts for men, women and children,” Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, Pope Francis’ charity, said in a statement.
“Everyone can join this initiative by buying and bringing/sending T-shirts directly to this dicastery within a month so that they can be sent to Kyiv as soon as possible,” the message says.
Konrad Krajewski, who has been in power since August 2013, traveled to Ukraine several times as a special envoy of Pope Francis to bring comfort and humanitarian aid to the population.
On his last trip, in September, the Polish cardinal emerged unscathed from a firefight in the Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye.
Earlier, in March, he traveled to the Ukrainian city of Lvov in the west of the country to start a humanitarian operation.
