Two Missionaries of Charity nuns from the northeastern Indian state of Mizoram have decided to stay on in the war-torn Ukraine to serve the people amid the full-scale invasion by Russia.
Sisters Rosela Nuthangi and Ann Frida said they are ready to risk their lives to serve people fleeing the war and the injured.
