Eric Mock of Slavic Gospel Association says, "In the middle of great conflict we're seeing the Ukrainian believers stepping up for the sake of the Gospel
Under Ukraine’s rule, Crimea had incredible freedom. While the Tatar and Jewish populations were often under attack, they are now fleeing the peninsula due to increased violence and persecution under Russian rule.
