Following the eruption of war in Ukraine, many refugees from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine have taken refuge across the border in neighbouring Russia. A few dozen of them are currently offered accommodation and food at the Iversky Convent of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) in northern Rostov-on-Don. The convent has adapted housing normally offered to pilgrims visiting the convent to serve instead as accommodation for refugees from Ukraine, most of whom are women and children.
