Director of Caritas Mariupol: Until last moment we believed Putin would not attack

The situation in Ukraine is very dramatic. Until a few days ago, few people believed that Russia would decide to launch an all-out invasion of Ukraine. Now the country is under intense attack by the Russian army. There is fighting and bombing in many places, and people are fleeing their homes. The situation is most intense in eastern Ukraine. On Thursday afternoon, we spoke with the director of Caritas Mariupol, Rostislav Sprynyuk, about the situation.

Ensuring efficient and effective use of donors' money is absolutely essential, says Jitka Jandáková

Jitka Jandáková works as a Financial Director of Caritas Czech Republic. As she says, financial planning and controlling are much more demanding than in a commercial company. It is necessary to meet the requirements of donors to ensure efficient and meaningful use of finances and, most importantly, to account for everything down to the last penny. Transparency is absolutely key. How does the financing of Caritas Czech Republic work and how does the organisation use its funds? This is what we talked about with Jitka.

Moldovans are kind and hospitable and their food is also great, says Evžen Diviš

Regular monitoring trips to the Caritas Czech Republic country offices are essential part of our work. They allow us to not only strengthen our working relationships with our colleagues abroad but to also meet our local and international partners and donors. And of course see the results of our work with our own eyes. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, we could not travel to our country offices as much as we were used to. Evžen Diviš, Regional Manager of Caritas Czech Republic, has recently returned from his monitoring trip to Moldova, where he travelled after nearly a two-year break.
