Church in Lukashivka | Limited edition print

Description

From February 24, 2022, Russian attacks on freedom of religion or belief in Ukraine have become more common and harsher. The report identified that between February 24 and July 15, 2022, at least 270 places of worship, spiritual educational institutions, and sacred sites (cemeteries, memorials, etc.) were either completely destroyed or damaged by Russian troops. The largest number of churches, mosques, and synagogues was affected in the Donetsk region with 71 buildings destroyed or damaged, especially in the city of Mariupol. In the Kyiv region, 53 places of worship were destroyed or damaged. “If previously priests on the occupied territories only received death threats, now religious leaders are tortured and killed – again, but on a scale far worse than in 2014. If previously Russian occupational authorities expelled Ukrainian believers from their churches and prayer houses, now Russia is destroying the spiritual heritage of Ukraine with missile attacks, shelling, and looting of religious buildings without justification by military necessity.” -Institute for Religious Freedom (IRF)
