Blogger Denys Kazansky showed photos of the UOC Church of All Saints, which stood on the outskirts of Maryinka in the former village of Heorhiivka in the Maryinka district, Donetsk region.
Russian shelling has turned the shrine into a pile of rubble. Only one column with fragments of frescoes remains from the building. The church was consecrated in 2013, and for 10 years, prayers were heard within its walls.
As reported by the UOJ, the network showed the Annunciation Church of the UOC destroyed in Bakhmut.
