It has been noted that the “Martyred” Ukraine has occupied a special place in Pope Francis’ heart since the Russian army invaded the country in February 2022. in this season of advent welling into Christmas, the pontiff has regularly called for prayer for the Ukrainian people and appealed for peace. Not only that, the Holy Father has also made concrete gestures of solidarity with the victims of the conflict.

The latest is a special gift as Christmas draws near: a vehicle converted into a small mobile hospital to care for the inhabitants of this country devastated by war.

The pope’s almoner, Cardinal Konrad Krajweski, will be in charge of delivering the vehicle to the hospital where the injured can be operated on.

In addition, the Holy Father is sending six ultrasound machines that will be donated to destroyed and bombed hospitals.

During his trip to Ukraine, Krajewski will visit several communities to meet the suffering people, to bring them hope and the closeness of Pope Francis.

The cardinal has already visited the most affected areas on at least eight occasions, at the Holy Father’s request.

In June, he brought the third ambulance donated by the pope to Ukraine. On that occasion, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity visited the district of Zboriv ​​in the Ternopil region

He also brought a large quantity of essential medicines from the Vatican Pharmacy and the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic Pharmacy.
