Chaplains care for the spiritual resilience of soldiers, helping them maintain faith. Many problems in units are solved more easily when the commander and chaplain are in their place, able to listen to each soldier and answer their troubling questions.
During the meeting, the results of a study on factors influencing the spiritual resilience of military personnel were presented, and the Doctrine for meeting the spiritual and religious needs of personnel was introduced. Syrskyi also instructed to strengthen cooperation with religious organizations to select worthy candidates for chaplain positions.
I express my gratitude to the ministers of all religious organizations who are daily alongside our defenders. They demonstrate a unique example of interfaith unity and understanding.
