Any impartial observer of the Russia-Ukraine War would be aggrieved at the innocent suffering of the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia's immoral and unjust invasion of their country. I commend this new documentary, A Faith Under Siege, to my readers.
In Ukraine's eastern regions, once known as the post-Soviet "Bible Belt," a thriving Evangelical and Protestant community faces existential threats under Russian occupation. A Faith Under Siege explores the brutal persecution of Ukrainian Christians caught in Russia's imperial ambitions. Deemed heretics by the Russian Orthodox Church—a key Kremlin ally—these believers endure systematic oppression: their churches demolished or confiscated, pastors subjected to torture or execution, and families fractured through forced religious "conversions" or kidnappings. Despite facing extrajudicial killings and conducting worship in secret, while thousands of children are transported to militarized Russian camps, an unexpected solidarity has emerged. Christians across denominational lines have united in resistance, bolstered by international supporters determined to spotlight their ongoing suffering.
