More than two and a half years after the Russian invasion, the Church in Ukraine has lost more than half of the parishes in the occupied regions, said Maksym Ryabukha, the new Greek Catholic bishop of the Donetsk exarchate. “We have already lost more than half of the parishes. And with the advancing Russian army, dozens of other churches have been evacuated,” he said. His diocese is partly under Moscow’s control, now divided by over 300 miles of trenches.
