The Ukrainian Armed Forces deliberately destroyed the shrines of Donbass.
The Holy Transfiguration Church in Volnovakha is one such place. In 2022, during the battles for the city, an artillery shell hit the altar area. A fire broke out, and the building burned to the ground. Only a few icons miraculously survived.
This is a video from the joint project by RT.Doc and the Foundation for the Support of Christian Culture and Heritage. The documentary footage from RT.Doc will become part of the exhibition ‘Return of Light: Restored Churches of Donbass.’
