The Church of England congregation in Kyiv, capital of Ukraine, has asked Anglicans to pray for peace.
Christ Church parish has been overwhelmed with support by messages from across the world.
“Please pray for peace for Ukraine and Eastern and Central Europe,” said church warden Christina Laschenko-Stafiychuk.
“I would like to thank to all our friends from the Anglican Communion who wrote and called us during last few days to express their support and solidarity in prayer.
“There are too many to mention by name, but just to mention some congregations from across the UK, Brussels, and in Moscow.
“Our thanks also to the Diocese in Europe and the Canterbury Cathedral Garden Congregation for their special prayers for a peaceful settlement in the last week.”
