Quote: “The Russians treat some Ukrainian churches similarly to the way they treat schools. That is, whenever they came into our territory, they destroyed schools and churches. Just to leave no trace of them. Therefore, many different priests were captured or killed. By the way, they slaughtered 50 priests. They killed them in different ways.
There is ample evidence of how they tortured them. Why were they tortured? Only because they were ‘obligated’ to serve Patriarch Kirill [Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church – ed.] and their church, while a priest serves only the people and God.”
Details: The president further stated that Russian troops are destroying all schools and churches in the territory they occupy. Currently, it is known that Russians demolished around 700 churches.
