But after Russia’s full-scale invasion, everything changed.As the occupation took hold, churches became more than places of worship — they became pillars of resilience. Locals gathered for daily prayers in the city’s central square. Russia responded with a brutal crackdown.Hear firsthand testimony from Father Oleksandr Bohomaz, and learn how faith, identity, and resistance endure in the face of oppression.🕊️ Stand in solidarity. Witness the truth. Share the story. ... See MoreSee Less
