Russians continue to oppress believers of various denominations on these territories.

According to Censor.net, this was reported by the Center for National Resistance.

“The local occupation administration in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia has created a list of churches allowed to hold services for the Old Calendar Christmas (January 6-7). Essentially, this means that all disloyal churches are restricted and effectively prohibited from conducting services.

It’s worth noting that Russians are oppressing representatives of all denominations except for the Moscow Patriarchate’s church, which is under Kremlin control. Russian priests are arriving in the temporarily occupied territory to reinforce control,” the statement reads.
