As the Russia-Ukraine war nears its grim 1,000-day milestone, in the first of two special episodes, we consider how the conflict has affected the lives of the many ordinary citizens who have had no part to play on the battlefields and in the corridors of power on both sides of the conflict. As always, we focus on where our intentions and prayers may be most needed. This week, we look at how the war is affecting citizens in Russia. Suggested Intention Focus for this week: This week, as Russian citizens continue to bear the impacts of their country’s war with Ukraine, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Russian citizens will be guided and protected in coping with all emotional, mental and physical effects on their lives resulting from their country’s war with Ukraine. Please join us in holding this.
