Zelensky: Religious persecution of Crimean Muslims is biggest in 21 century

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that repressions against Crimean Tatars on religious grounds have become one of the most global in Europe. The Head of State said this during the opening of the Second Summit of the Crimean Platform, qirim.news reports.

“In order to win, we need to bear in mind what was the path to the current situation – the degradation of Russia began with the seizure of Crimea. It began with terror against the Crimean Tatar people, the indigenous people of Crimea, with religious repression, which became perhaps the largest religious persecution in Europe in the 21st century against the Crimean Muslim community,” Zelenskyy said.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that since the beginning of the war, 111 churches of the UOC have been seized with the use of physical force, when the raiders forcibly sealed the churches and took away the keys from believers.
