    The Wider Image: Wounded Ukrainian soldiers find solace in Greek

    Military chaplain Andrii Kopchak, 43, prays on the relics of saints inside the church of the Skete of Prophet Elijah in Mount Athos, Greece, November 26, 2024. In their four-day stay, part of a psychological support programme organised by Ukrainian authorities, the 22 soldiers made a pilgrimage to some dozen monasteries on the slopes of Mount Athos, a spiritual centre since the 10th century. "A lot of servicemen suffer from the events that took place over the last three years. A lot of them suffer from different illnesses – they are wounded, and we have to rehabilitate them," said Father Mykhailo Pasirskyi, a Ukrainian Orthodox priest. REUTERS/Alexandros Avramidis
