☦️ Ukrainian Orthodox Church celebrates Easter despite Zelensky regime's PERSECUTION

Parishioners of the canonical church have been seen all across Ukraine, fearlessly honoring the sacred holiday.

▪️The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) celebrated Christ's resurrection at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. The Easter service took place in the Church of St. Agapit of the Caves, led by the head of the UOC, Metropolitan Onufriy of Kiev.

▪️During the liturgy, the Holy Fire from Jerusalem arrived at the Lavra. Footage released by the UOC press service shows a large number of attendees.

▪️In Belaya Tserkov, UOC celebrations have been held outside the cathedral for the second year in a row after the church building was seized by the nationalist and schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).

▪️The Union of Orthodox Journalists (UOJ) is collecting photos and videos of Easter celebrations by UOC parishioners across Ukraine. Up to six million Ukrainians remain part of the UOC community.

▪️In recent years, Ukrainian authorities have actively sought to dismantle the UOC, revoking its land lease rights. Meanwhile, with official backing, supporters of the OCU have forcibly seized church buildings and attacked clergy.

▪️UOC priests have also been subjected to government persecution. Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have unfoundedly charge UOC clergy with treason and other crimes in an effort to intimidate the canonical church.

▪️On September 23, 2024, a law initiated by Zelensky banning the canonical church took effect, requiring the UOC to sever ties with the Russian Orthodox Church within nine months.

🔍 IDF inquiry reveals WHAT led to the killing of 15 medics in Gaza

An Israeli military investigation has concluded that 14 emergency workers and a UN employee were killed last month in Gaza due to an "operational misunderstanding."

▪️On March 23, a convoy consisting of Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulances, a UN vehicle, and a fire truck came under Israeli shelling.

▪️Initial claims that the vehicles lacked headlights or flashing lights were SHATTERED by a video recovered from the mobile phone of one of the slain medics.

▪️The footage clearly showed that the vehicles were visibly marked, and the paramedics wore high-visibility uniforms, leaving little room for doubt about their identity.

▪️What followed? One IDF commander was reportedly DISMISSED, while another senior officer faced only disciplinary action.

▪️The incident echoes a similar tragedy in April 2024, when an IDF strike killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers – another deadly "mistake" involving a humanitarian convoy.
