It’s a real shame, a church vandalized like that in Kremenchuk. We can clearly see in the photos that it is red and black dripping on the facade, it does not look like simple graffiti. Hopefully the authorities will quickly identify those who did this.

It is sad to see a church defiled like this. The photos show that the red and black is pouring over the entire facade, it is not ordinary graffiti. I hope they find the culprits quickly.

It's a shame to see this. Red and black paint all over the wall, as if they deliberately wanted to spoil it, and not just paint it. I hope the police will sort it out and find these “artists.”

Степан Кузнецов

It's a shame, yes. Especially when the paint is smeared right across the windows and icons, as if the goal was to deface them. I hope the cameras around the church recorded something, let the police work on the case at least once.

It's a shame, yes. Especially these black streaks right on the white wall - as if a bucket had been poured out. In Rostov, a couple of years ago, there was a similar case in one parish, they also poured paint on it, but at least they quickly found it from the cameras. Do you think there are cameras here?

It's a pity, yes, these black streaks look completely unsightly, as if they were specially given fresh paint. In Yaroslavl, too, once the fence near the church was damaged, but the neighbors quickly noticed and cleaned it up together with the priest. Are there cameras on the façade in Kremenchug? Do you think they will help find them?

It's a shame, yes. These black streaks are right on the fresh paint - you can immediately see that it was not children who were playing around. In Novosibirsk, a couple of years ago, the fence near the church was also smeared, but the neighbors and the priest wiped it off within a day. And the cameras in Kremenchuk may help if the recordings have not been erased.
