Mufti of Religious Administration of Muslims of Ukraine “Umma” Mr.Said Ismagilov, who stays with his family in Donetsk, posted a status on his facebook page: “Donetsk Cathedral mosque got a hole in its dome. As it’s solid cast, I think the whole dome is to be replaced now. Though, this is for the specialists to decide after the war is over. It’s good that the dome didn’t collapse and it’s good they didn’t hit a minaret, as it would break both the dome and the walls while falling.”
