On the eve of Ukraine's Independence Day, Sister Liji Payyapilly shares with Vatican News her witness from a country at war. Serving in Transcarpathia, she travels to front-line cities and meets people who have lost everything, yet many still turn to God in gratitude. In Kherson, she saw a baby girl born amid ruins, a sign that life continues. Prayer is essential, she insists, because Christ has already conquered the world and the Holy Spirit can act through believers. Ukraine is afraid and needs peace, but God has given every nation the freedom to live freely.
