In Donetsk, on November 12, armed men seized the Protestant church of the Church of Christ the Saviour and took the car of one of the ministers - the father of 10 children.
Father Serhiy Kosyak wrote about it on one of his Facebook pages. He was once in the captivity of terrorists and the organizer of a prayer marathon for peace in Ukraine.
“The armed militants and their superiors who drove people out of the church have no God in their hearts, no honor, no conscience. And this whole war is not against Ukraine, but against the Church of Jesus Christ and against God Himself,” he said.
The pastor said that he had previously kept track of how many church buildings were seized, and how many ministers were arrested and beaten by the rebels of the People’s Republic of Donetsk (DNR) Then he lost count, because there were too many seizures and week-long arrests and seizures of a church buildings became part of a noble strategy of the DNR in the fight for a brighter future.
"But today’s fact outraged me probably the most. I am writing to all who still wears pink glasses, especially the 'brothers and sisters' from Russia who support the policy of the Kremlin, and believe that in Ukraine 'the militia of DNR' are noble fighters for independence. So, all these DNR and LNR and other fake republics are nothing more than an instrument in the hands of the wicked puppeteers inspired by hell. In their philosophy of ‘Russian World" the Protestant Church and others heterorthodox are ideological enemies, sectarians, Uniates and schismatics that encroach on the ‘holy’ Russia,” says Serhiy Kosyak.
“God sees everything, for first time I wish that God physically cleared the Ukrainian land from the embodiment of Evil,” says the Protestant pastor.
