battalion on the front line, our chaplain battalion is working, the chaplain battalion is working throughout the front line, every morning our teams load cars and send them to different areas of the front to our soldier friends in advance, let them be holy to the soldiers, and secondly, we are always glad to have the opportunity to help civilians who, unfortunately, are often on the line at the front on the line of military action, that is why we come and help. can we help our military and people, starting with spiritual support? in total, you have 38 children and some of them are serving at the front under bakhmut and kherson . two of them are chaplains. can you tell me about your children? the privilege of being a father to 35 adopted children and three biological ones. i have 11 sons at the front , and finally i was wounded at christmas. in response you hear merry christmas and automatic queues and explosions go running he answers he answers my call during the battle he was wounded but thank god it was a very light wound he is an absolute hero what a lot of people who protect my land some

>> what is the role of chaplains in the military in ukraine. >> translator: the role of the chaplainose to the soldiers and support them. a person is not just a complex, a machine, but is also spiritual and soulful. it's a support. to be near war is constant stress. it's constant stress that never ends. a person simply burns out. not even from the fact that something hey hit close, that it is dangerous, but internally, psychologically. not only is it a fear of death and injuries, but also worries for one's family, country, and all this in a complex exhausts a person and dreams their strength. therefore, the chaplain is just a person who can support him. >> let's talk about the stress. we are looking at the soldiers as being very brave, patriotic, determined, and yet you see the other side. you chaplains see what they suffer, what they fear. >> there's a moment when a person's finish something an emptiness comes. the dangerous past there, comes a moment when there is this emptiness in a person that requires some kind of filling. to support a person who just came from the meat grinder,

he does not become chaplain.he he ultimately will leave and go back to to holland, where he's from but he's remembered for for failing to become chaplain with this arrangement and max friedman, the reason probably that he doesn't want attention to be drawn to his is that he is doing what a lot of other colonels are doing at the time, which he's padding his regimental rolls. there are lots of phantom soldiers, his regiment that they're probably collecting rations and and and wages for soldiers who aren't really there. he doesn't want all this attention drawn to his regiment because potentially going to be very embarrassing and career also will end in disgrace. exactly this reason that he he very soon after also leave the regiment for iraq because there's this scandal attached to what he's been up to. again, as i said, this is fairly common practice. the time, unfortunately. but again, this this so what i argue is that the chaplaincy has been somewhat misremembered, that it's seen as an by historians as a test case

military chaplain omelyan, he goes there very often . he goes to see them.d person in our country, he provided us with food, they brought him a cube of oil and well we collected a little bit of cabbage there ourselves . yes , we went there and bought some onions. well, what do we need for all this preparation? i was there right at zero, as you say, yes. in general , we have been there since the 14th year for more than three years. i have been there for 3 years and 10 months. every 2-3 sundays, i go there for four to five days. i was with a unit and went for longer period as the unit is there for three months or six months how long have i been there with the unit, eh, now we are going there where it is difficult, where it is difficult, now i am going to my brother, the chaplain, on the 14th radu, he is small there, there are many thousands of people left , so he also needs support, because he is also a person , he is also burning out like you you say oh-oh-oh-oh, my tree grew so well, it became a mountain , lord, you died, command those who are spinning there

to besides being a chaplain, i'm a pastor of a church. i travel, every week i tried to bring something to both military and civilian people. i don't see death on the front lines. our friends are dying. my good friend died this summer. it's hard. you can't get used to get. death is always scary. it is always pain, eternal pain. i'm a religious person, i cope with this with the help of god, with a prayer. >> that is an inevitable part of life. that seems a part of life you're now because it's not normal. we may have gotten used to death in a way, but every death is a pain for us. >> we have a lot more of from that conversation, which will air tomorrow morning i velshi, you don't want to miss that. but, for now, victor's daughter, victor you heard, from has a remarkable story of her own. i will bring that to you next. you are watching velshi live from ukraine. ng velshi live from ukraine from ukraine i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll
