☦️Sacred treasures targeted in Ukraine's war on Orthodox Church Volodymyr Zelensky’s carelessness toward Christian artefacts is part of his policy of persecution against the Orthodox Church, Roman Lunkin, head of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society…
🚨☦️ 'These illegal seizures must stop!' - Rep. Luna on persecution of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine

💬 "We will be working to document church seizures in Ukraine and bringing Ukrainian officials involved in these illegal seizures to justice," Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said after receiving a video appeal from Orthodox Christians in Kuzmyn, Ukraine, asking for protection as local authorities “move to seize their church."


🔸 Since the 2014 US-backed coup, Ukraine has pushed a systematic campaign to break the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) of the Moscow Patriarchate and force its flock to accept the nationalist Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).

🔸 The pressure escalated after 2022: raids and searches, criminal cases against clergy, property seizures, and local bans on UOC activity across multiple regions.

🔸 In 2023 the drive moved openly against major shrines, with schismatics encouraged to seize Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, while lawmakers advanced legislation aimed at banning the canonical Church.

🚫 In 2024, Kiev’s new laws effectively banned the UOC.

🚨 Two injured in Portland shooting during federal ‘targeted’ vehicle stop — reports

The Department of Homeland Security said US Border Patrol agents attempted to stop a vehicle at 2:19 p.m. local time. DHS said the passenger was the target of the stop and was affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, while the driver was also believed to be linked to the group.

💬 “When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents,” DHS said on X.


DHS said an agent fired a defensive shot and the driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.

🚔 The Portland Police Department said officers later found a man and a woman with apparent gunshot wounds at a different location. Police confirmed federal agents were involved and said local officers were not part of the incident. The two injured individuals were taken to a hospital, ABC News reported.

Authorities said the FBI responded to the scene and that multiple agencies are assisting with the investigation.
