On May 6, 2025, OCU priest Fr. Serhiy Chertylyn delivered medications to the Lukyanivska Kyiv Detention Center. As Fr. Sergey shared on his Facebook page, the "Detention Center: Pharmacy of Salvation" initiative was organized by the Mykolaiv International Charitable Foundation, with the support of UOC believers, clergy, and concerned individuals.
"This time, a large quantity of essential medications was directly delivered to the prisoners: painkillers, antiviral drugs, antibiotics, stomach medications, and much more," Father Serhiy explained. He himself had spent five months in a detention center and was released on bail in August 2024.
The priest emphasized that he understands the importance of such actions well: "After all, every package of medicine delivered saves someone's life and gives a chance for recovery to those who often remain without support."
"We sincerely thank everyone who joins us: believers, UOC clergy, and anyone who helps make these good deeds a reality," he wrote.
