(Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church).
In the territories temporarily occupied by Russia, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church has been de facto liquidated, there is not a single Greek or Roman Catholic priest there, and the clergy are being repressed.
“Our Church has been liquidated in the occupied territories. Specifically, by so-called state regulations. For example, this happened in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region. Institutions of social service of our Church, such as Caritas Ukraine or such a community of Catholic men as the Knights of Columbus, are also prohibited there. In the occupied territories today, there is virtually no Catholic priest—either Greek Catholic or Roman Catholic,” said the Head of the UGCC.
