Ukraine

 Ukraine

Ukraine is a country in Europe, located right beside Russia.

When my sister heard I was writing about Ukraine next, she told me to pray for the children because people are always adopting children from Ukraine so there must be a reason. Turns out she was right. There are literally THOUSANDS, tens of thousands, of orphans in Ukraine.

On another prayer note, when I typed "Ukraine" into Google search the first result (ad result) was advertising single Ukraine women, which kind of leads me to believe that Ukrainian women are being exploited. However, I have not done enough research to fully back this theory up.

Rather than talk more about this country which I know very little about, I am going to refer you to two excellent prayer websites. Don't worry, it does not involve a lot of heavy reading. PLEASE read them and especially watch the short video on the first one and pray for the things they mention.

As always, God bless and thank you for praying =)
