Während ihrer Reise nach Moskau hat eine Delegation des Ökumenischen Rates der Kirchen (ÖRK) das Zentrum für humanitäre Hilfe besucht, eine Kircheninitiative, die im März 2022 nach Beginn des Kriegs in der Ukraine ihre Arbeit aufgenommen hat. Die meisten der Geflüchteten aus der Ukraine, die in Moskau ankommen, haben Freunde oder Verwandte in der russischen Hauptstadt. Trotzdem sind sie auf umfassende Unterstützung angewiesen. Jeden Tag wenden sich ca. 500 Menschen an das Flüchtlingszentrum und bitten um Hilfe. In dieser Anlaufstelle für Geflüchtete erhalten sie Artikel des täglichen Bedarfs, Grundnahrungsmittel, Hygieneartikel und – falls sie Kinder haben – die wichtigste Grundausstattung für den Nachwuchs. Viele der Menschen, die zu dem Flüchtlingszentrum kommen, leiden an psychologischen Problemen und müssen traumatische Erlebnisse verarbeiten. Nach einem ersten Gespräch werden sie an fachärztliche Praxen überwiesen.

During its travels in Moscow, a World Council of Churches (WCC) delegation visited the Humanitarian Aid Center, a church initiative which started in March 2022, after the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Most of the refugees from Ukraine who arrive in Moscow have friends or relatives in the Russian capital. Nevertheless, their need is great.

Many of the people who come to the drop-in centre suffer from psychological problems and traumatic experiences. After initial treatment, they are referred to professionals.
