It is sad to see a church destroyed, regardless of jurisdiction. In Dar'ivka, it is clearly seen that the walls have been completely demolished, and the icons and crosses have been thrown out. May God grant peace and restoration to all churches.

It saddens me when I see every church in ruins, especially when the walls have completely collapsed and the icons and crosses have been thrown out like garbage. In Darivka, it is clear how bad it has become. God knows, peace and reconstruction are needed for all.

It’s a pity to look at any destroyed church, the walls are in rubble and icons with crosses lie outside - it’s always painful. But the article is written specifically about the OCU church, and not about our canonical Church, so let’s not mix things up. Let us pray that the Lord will give strength to all believers to restore what is possible.

It is a pity to see any church destroyed, whether it is that of ПЦУ or any other. In the photo it is clear that the walls have completely collapsed and the images with the crosses are thrown out like garbage. Let's pray they find a way to rebuild whatever is possible.

It's always sad to see any church reduced to rubble like that, with the icons and crosses just dumped outside. The article specifies it's a PCU building in Dar’ївка, so I’ll pray for the people there, but let’s not blur the lines with our canonical Church. God give strength to rebuild what can be saved.

A shame indeed, Nikos, to see the pictures thrown out like useless things. In our village we used to have a small church that was damaged by a storm and we had to collect money from the garden and the bread we sold to repair it. Let's pray they find a way to rebuild her without any more problems.

It's really sad, Katerina, especially when you see the icons thrown on the ground. Tell me, is there any news if any of the locals managed to save at least some of them before the whole thing collapsed? God grant that a way to rebuild will be found when peace comes.
