Father Mokhnenko has been internationally renowned for his contributions to civilians.

He works in the Zaporizhzhia region and continuously travels down to the front to help those who live there and the soldiers who are fighting.

SVT's team accompanied him on one of his trips, south from Zaporizhzhia, down to the village of Novoyakavlivka just kilometers from the front.
