| Summary: | On February 20, 2014, Russia started a hybrid war in Eastern Ukraine, occupying Crimea and parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, Russia escalated to a full-scale military attack on Ukraine. The new, more brutal phase of the war devastated the world for Ukrainians and left almost the entire population of the country in shambles. This act of aggression affected evangelical churches and theological educational institutions. Since the early days of the war, Evangelical Protestants have been engaged in volunteer activities and assisting refugees affected by the war, the Ukrainian army, and territorial defense detachments. They have become witnesses and victims of the horrific consequences of Russian aggression.
The Eastern European Institute of Theology has initiated a series of events, attempting to voice the pain of the Ukrainians from the full-scale Russian invasion and to call on other Christians to help, defend and support their ministry by all possible means.
