An English-language documentary titled "Christians Under Siege: Ukraine" has emerged online, shedding light on the situation surrounding the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The video, published on the Savetheuoc YouTube channel, presents the challenges faced by the UOC.
In the film's preview, it is stated: "Imagine going to your local church on a Sunday morning and finding the doors locked. Not only – that the ministers there to perform the service persecuted and actually facing jail time if they go through with the service. This shocking scenario is actually happening right now in Ukraine."
Additionally, a new website named "SaveTheUOC.com" has been launched, providing information about the persecutions against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
As was previously reported by the UOJ, the United Nations recommended that Ukraine reconsider the law banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
