Russian artillery destroys historic Ukrainian church in Donbas

Russian artillery has hit the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God in the Donbas region, causing extensive material damage and engulfing the historic church in flames.

This church, built in the 19th century, has been one of the important religious and cultural symbols of the local community, serving not only as a place of prayer, but also as a historical landmark that has preserved the rich memories and traditions of the region.

Residents and believers of the area have expressed deep sadness and concern over the destruction of their religious and architectural heritage.

Local authorities and cultural organizations are trying to assess the damage and take measures to preserve what remains of the church structure, while the community expresses its determination to preserve the memory and historical significance of the holy site.

The event comes in a tense context of the conflict in Donbas, where cultural sites often fall victim to military actions, highlighting the urgent need for the protection of historical and religious heritage in the region.

Otherwise, Russia began its invasion of the Ukrainian state on February 24, 2022, causing thousands of casualties and extensive material damage.
