The Salvation Army has continued to respond to the humanitarian crisis unfolding across Europe as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, whilst recognizing that not everyone in Russia either supports the war or is free to state their objection.

The Salvation Army has responded to the needs of refugees in all but two of the European countries in which it operates, by providing food, hygiene, practical advice and spiritual care. As always, this care is offered without prejudice or discrimination to all those in need.

The Eastern Europe Territory and International Headquarters are in daily contact with corps officers in these areas. There are also plans to implement a ‘care for the carers’ package to support all responders with additional spiritual care. Officers remain largely in their church locations and are serving where they’re appointed.
