During the trip, there were many meetings, including visits to military units and dugout churches with the chief military priest of the SVR, Archpriest Dmitry Vasilenkov.
In the dugout churches, the chief military priest of the SVR performed prayer chants for the soldiers and preached to the soldiers.
For the prayer chants, in blessing and support, Father Dmitry brought a pectoral cross-a reliquary with fragments of the relics of holy warriors. With this cross, the chief military priest blessed each worshipper.
In turn, the command presented military awards to military priests.
For the work and support of the military unit, for spiritual and humanitarian assistance to the front, medals "For the Dnieper" were awarded:

As part of the trip, Crimeans handed over the necessary humanitarian aid to our soldiers. In particular, fuel (200 liters of gasoline) was delivered to one of the military units.
Items of liturgical utensils, fuel, food, vegetables, dairy products, sweets, and gas canisters were delivered to the military priests in the dugout churches.
A natural potato straw for children was given to one of the churches in Skadovsk as a gift from the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Simferopol.
