The Vatican has sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine in response to appeals from local bishops due to the critical situation with energy supply and severe frosts.

The Pontiff's appeal, voiced during the general audience on February 4, developed into a concrete charitable action by the Dicastery for the Service of Charity. Three trucks with power generators have already arrived in Fastiv and Kyiv – cities that have been significantly affected by recent attacks.
The aid became extremely necessary as night temperatures in Ukraine dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius, forcing people to seek shelter in heating points operating thanks to the received equipment.
