In Odesa, Ukraine, an attack is expected at any time. Evacuation is going on.

Contrary to the plan we reported last week, our Mission Possible Director Oleg and his wife Elena have also had to leave. In addition to their biological children, they have been foster parents to several children in our shelter in Odessa over the years. One minor child still lives with them, and Oleg is their official guardian. Child Services have required the family to leave Odesa with the child. Some of our workers and volunteers are still in Ukraine, but there is now an imminent threat to Odesa. We are preparing to start relief work in the Odessa region as soon as possible.

We continue to work with the Moldovan church to help refugees near the Ukrainian-Moldovan border. In Romania, we support our team member Lilia and her daughter, who has organized a group of families willing to house refugees. Lilia fled Odessa when a missile struck close to her house on the first night of the war. In Bulgaria's Mission Possible operations center, our team is prepared to receive refugees if the situation requires.
