U. S. Helsinki Commission: Russia’s Persecution of Ukrainian Christians

Held in July of 2024, this hearing discusses Christianity in Ukraine, how Russia has been persecuting Christians in occupied territories and the human rights issues posed by these events.

"Russia has engaged in routine kidnapping, hostage-taking, violence against civilians, and suppression of Ukrainian culture and language. Occupying authorities under orders from the Kremlin have been particularly harsh toward Protestant Christians and institutions, often painting them as agents of the United States." - U.S. Helsinki Commission
