On the night of May 16, the UOC temple in honor of Saint Prince Vladimir and Princess Olga in Kyiv, belonging to the Tithe Monastery of the UOC, was brutally and barbarically destroyed.
Popularly it is better known as the Tithe Temple.
Closer to 10 pm, the area around the church was surrounded and blocked by police and military officials.
Neither the brethren of the Tithe Monastery, nor the parishioners of the temple were allowed to their shrine.
Later, communications at the site were jammed, and construction equipment was brought to the temple.
In a matter of hours, the small, beautiful temple was completely destroyed. Together with the altar, into which the relics of the saints were placed, along with skillful icons and bas-reliefs. And its remains were transported to an unknown direction by trucks as construction waste.
A terrible tragedy for every Orthodox Ukrainian. Terrible news for every Orthodox Christian in the world, and for every Christian.

And the sobering truth about what the government in Kyiv has become, which no longer has anything in common with Europe and democracy.
Such lawless acts clearly show why they imprisoned Orthodox journalists on false charges. They are afraid of the publicity of the horrific crimes against the rights of Orthodox Ukrainians that they have planned.

To do this, people were first silenced - with criminal cases and fear of reprisals. They tried to shut it up.

And now, the next point of the criminal plan has come true. And those who told the truth and interfered with them have been sitting in pre-trial detention for three months now.

Help us free Orthodox journalists! Help bring back freedom of speech and conscience to Ukraine!
