A documentary about the suffering of evangelical Christians in Ukraine shows how one objective of the Russian invasion is to degrade Christianity, including allowing Chechen Muslims to partially Islamize occupied areas.

Steven Moore, founder of Ukraine Freedom Project and co-producer of A Faith Under Siege, said from the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv that the country was surprisingly “highly functioning” despite the challenges of consistent attacks against the population – a drone-and-missile attack reported on Thursday night (July 30) resulted in 16 people dead, including a 6-year-old boy and another child.

“It’s understandable if people outside Ukraine think that Kyiv could be a smoke-and-ruin because that’s what the media portrays,” said Moore, who has lived there since day five of the Russian invasion in February 2022. “But this is a city of millions of people, and life goes on, and Ukraine is very resilient.”

In the 18 percent of territory controlled by Russia, however, “the worst things in the world are happening,” Moore said – torture, imprisonment, indoctrination, kidnapping of their children and brutal killings.
