This was related to Pravmir by Archpriest George Gulyaev, head of the Information Department of the Donetsk Diocese.

According to him, the roof of a new convent building was burned. There were no casualties and victims, since there was no one in the convent at the time of the fire, because the nuns had left for safety reasons.

The Convent of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God is located in close proximity to the Donetsk airport (the convent is near the runway), where active hostilities are occurring between the armed forces of Ukraine and the Donetsk People’s Republic.

According to media reports, earlier during the fighting around the airport, a gas pipeline was damaged. However, the damage had been fixed by July 19.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
