Ukraine Prayer # 539

Russia is destroying Ukrainian churches and torturing priests in the occupied territories
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has destroyed or damaged at least 630 religious buildings. Most of them were destroyed in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson regions.
It has been documented that some churches and prayer houses were looted by the Russian military, closed or converted into administrative buildings by the occupation authorities.
 
Ukrainian religious leaders continue to be imprisoned, tortured, and killed in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Those who did not agree to collaborate and refused to submit to Russian religious centers are subject to repression.
 
Please pray for believers in Ukraine. Pray for protection and for continued support to their daily needs.
