In the Chernihiv region, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) came under fire from the Russians

Russian troops shelled the border area of ​​Chernihiv region. Ukraine’s northernmost village, Gremyach, was again devastated on May 1 by Russian shelling. In the village, after the bombing, the former building of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin caught fire, the narthex burned down completely and the roof was destroyed.

This prayer house was erected in 1947, during the difficult post-war period, instead of two churches destroyed in the village by atheistic authorities, and operated until 2014. More than one generation of the inhabitants of the village was baptized in it, married and led off on their last journey.

The building of the current Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, consecrated in 2014, was also damaged – the door was knocked out by the blast wave.
