Due to the unusually dry weather in a large part of Ukraine, Metropolitan of Odessa and Izmail Agafangel arrived at the Pokrovskoye research farm, where, with the assistance of the clergy, he performed a prayer song in the fields for the sending of rain. As 'Orthodox Odessa' specifies, the visit of His Eminence Agafangel took place at the request of local residents.

The official website of the Odessa diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church reported that with the blessing of the ruling bishop, prayers for sending rain will be served daily in all churches in the region.
