With all due respect, the death toll of the Ukraine-Russia conflict since 2014 stands at 13,000 and counting.
If anything, all mainstream media outlets have been dangerously negligent in their reporting of just how devastating the situation is, with or without the religious persecution dimension.
It’s the description of the religious persecution in this piece that seems particularly “over the top”. I’m well aware of the fighting in the eastern Ukraine.
The oppression of protestant sects in the Lugansk “People’s Republic” is a fact. I have family in Alchevsk that confirm it. Now that Russian passports are being issued in the new “Republics” we will soon see that it was all a purely Russian land grab.
