The persecution of Jews in the Russian-Occupied Territories

Russia has enacted a series of repressive laws and religious policies specifically targeting evangelical Christians and religious minorities, aligning closely with radicalized religious rhetoric to justify its actions against Ukraine and the West. Within Russia itself, traditional religious affiliation contrasts sharply with actual religious practice, marked by low church attendance, widespread involvement with occult practices, and declining religious significance among the population. In Ukraine, despite relentless Russian missile and drone strikes overwhelmingly targeting civilians, the majority remain faithful and supportive of their churches, with many Ukrainians reporting increased religious devotion as a direct result of Russia's invasion.
