Russians began to "integrate" churches in the temporarily occupied territories, within which only Kremlin-controlled churches are to remain in the region.

This is reported by Sprotyv (Resistance).

A corresponding program "to assist religious organizations in integrating into the Russian socio-cultural space" was launched in the temporarily occupied territories. It is handled by the NGO “Russian Association for the Protection of Religious Freedom”, which is funded by grants from the president of the Russian Federation.

In fact, the organization is engaged in an audit of the property of other faiths in order to further destroy all Protestant movements, the UGCC, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and Muslim cells that are not controlled by the spiritual administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation. Moscow has already worked out a similar policy during its time in Crimea.
