On June 12, devotees returned to survey the condition of the ISKCON Kherson Temple in Ukraine, which was damaged during the ongoing conflict there. The Kherson region has also been in the news this week because of the bursting of the Kakhovka dam the previous week. The breach unleashed floodwaters across a portion of the war zone and has had devastating effects on thousands of area residents and animals.
“Over a year ago, the devotees had to leave their beloved Temple in Kherson due to the war. Soldiers from the Russian Army occupied the Temple and used it as their base,” said Parasuram Das, who provided the video linked below, “The war has raged in Kherson since the beginning of the conflict. Most devotees have moved out of the area, moving their families to safer locations.” Parasuram Das, the Director of Food for All – UK, and his team are known for their courageous work traveling to many dangerous areas worldwide. In addition to their daily meals for thousands in the UK, the FFA Team has repeatedly returned to Ukraine to support and strengthen field kitchens the organization has supplied since the war first broke out. They continue to help efforts in Syria and Turkey as well.
