One year and three months into the war, the people of Ukraine are living through it - some have fled their country in search of refuge, and others have been left behind to live in the daily routine of war. Thanks to the goodwill of the people of Lithuania, Caritas is providing assistance to refugees in our country and to the civilians who remain in Ukraine.

Ten Ukrainian towns have received aid from Lithuania, with the help of local Caritas and other partners. One of these cities is Odessa.
