Meanwhile in Iran...
"The Divine Liturgy was celebrated at the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Tehran on Sunday, the second day of U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
A small but devoted group of parishioners gathered for the Divine Liturgy for the feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, undeterred by the sound of explosions nearby heard throughout the service, reports the Department for External Church Relations.
The service was celebrated by cathedral cleric Igumen Varlaam (Dulsky).
“Despite the sound of explosions nearby, the service continued and concluded with a festive sermon by Igumen Varlaam,” the DECR writes."

The Ukrainian had been alone for a week. The Russians gave him the neccesary aid and saved his life.
