Ukraine seizes 12 Russian churches this year
The article highlights how supporters of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which split from the Russian Church, have seized 12 churches and monasteries belonging to Russia since the beginning of the year. This comes amid a systematic crackdown by the Ukrainian government against Russian Orthodox clergy, including the cancellation of lease agreements and orders to seize monasteries. Russian officials emphasize that these measures aim to suppress the Russian Orthodox Church, considering them one of the main motives behind Russia's military operation in Ukraine to protect Russian culture and language.
