Ukraine Declares War on God and Human Rights: SBU Raids, Searches, and Desecrates Christian Sites as Zelensky Pushes to Ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Ukraine continues to violate multiple articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights while desecrating sanctified land and waging war against those who love God and pray for peace.
The UN Declaration of Human Rights
The UN Declaration of Human Rights explicitly protects individual rights to political opinions, religion, choice of nationality, language, and oppression. Several articles provide protections specifically for religion. Below are what the author considers the most relevant Articles that apply to the continual persecution of Christians by the Ukraine regime:
France 24 reported that the Ukraine government imposed fines for violating a law making Ukrainian the primary language in Ukraine. This prevents Ukraine citizens from speaking the language of their choice and enacts penalties for refusing to comply (the publication claimed 62% of Ukrainians supported the law):
Ukraine has not recognized the right of citizens expressing a desire to change their nationality to Russian (as Ukraine stated its goal is to capture all occupied territories despite citizens in those regions demonstrating a desire to leave Ukraine for Russia).

“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place…then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. And let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back and get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days. And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been seen since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be (Matt. 24:15-22).”
