Reflecting on Jehovah\u2019s Promises Strengthens Widowed Ukrainian Sisters. With Jehovah\u2019s help, Sisters Liudmyla Mozul and Kateryna Rozdorska are coping with the physical and emotional toll of war. Their husbands, Petro Mozul and Dmytro Rozdorskyi, were among the first of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses to die as casualties in Ukraine. Sadly, to date, we have lost 34 brothers and sisters to the military conflict.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

Liudmyla Mozul and Kateryna Rozdorska both lost their husbands to the military conflict in Ukraine. The support of Jehovah and the brotherhood is helping them to endure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cFellow believers share words of comfort with me every day,\u201d Liudmyla says. \u201cTheir calls do not stop. I was also moved to tears by a letter with words of sympathy from the branch in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The war started on February\u00a024, 2022. Petro, who served as a ministerial servant in a sign-language congregation, was killed as he and his family were attempting to flee the intense bombing in Kharkiv on March 1, 2022.<\/p>\n

That day, after several days of shelling, fighter jets roared overhead and began attacking the city. The family gathered the bare necessities and left within 30 minutes. Petro and Liudmyla were in one car. Their son, Oleksii, and his wife, Maryna, were in another. \u201cWe were driving down the street in a residential area and came under an air strike,\u201d Liudmyla says. \u201cThe car literally shook from the shock waves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Petro, who was 67 years old, swerved to avoid a collision with Oleksii\u2019s car, but sustained severe injuries. He and Liudmyla were taken to the hospital where Petro later died. Liudmyla sustained injuries to her leg and abdomen from shrapnel. Oleksii and Maryna were not injured. Liudmyla learned of Petro\u2019s death after being discharged from the hospital three days later.<\/p>\n

Liudmyla says: \u201cThe more I think about Jehovah\u2019s kindness and wonderful purpose, the more inner peace I feel. I am sure that in the new world I will definitely see my husband again, and I can\u2019t wait for that joyful moment.\u201d {continue reading here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>}<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
