Attacks of Russian troops which target religious buildings in Ukraine violate international laws, Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Christmas Day on 25 December.
"The only Kyselivka village (Kherson Oblast) church was fully destroyed by Russian shelling. The Hague Convention IV protects religious buildings during hostilities, but for Russian war criminals there is no God, nor any respect for religion," the minister wrote on Twitter.
