Prayer Tent in Donetsk Attacked
Today, at 1:30 p.m., in the center of Donetsk, an interfaith prayer tent was attacked. Donbass.UA referring to a Facebook post of pastor Serhiy Kosyak reports.
Fifteen armed men who had identifying marks of the so-called People's Republic of Donetsk attacked the prayer tent, in which at that time there were two people. The terrorists took the equipment, batteries, audio system, and threw into the river a banner and the torn tent.
The pastor said that the attackers threatened that if the believers gather here in the evening for prayer, they all be shot.
"In this difficult time for the country, people of different faiths throughout Ukraine are united in a common prayer for God to heal our country, send us peace, and so that people would not die, so that love and reconciliation prevail over hate," pastor Serhiy Kosyak wrote. He also urged the faithful to participate in a prayer, which is planned for tomorrow, May 24, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on Constitution Square in Donetsk.
As RISU already reported, interdenominational prayer was organized in Donetsk in early March. Since then, every day dozens of believers take part in it.
