“Responding to the requests of assistance and showing solidarity with those suffering in Ukraine, we have launched a support campaign in parishes, our aim is to collect warm clothes and shoes, canned food, baby diapers and other items needed by Ukrainians,” Caritas Lithuania head Janina Kukauskienė said in a press release.
