“Yesterday a mortar hit the Orthodox church. One person died and many were wounded. This happened namely on the holy day [Trinity Day], when most civilians came to pray for peace,” Slavyansk militia representative told on Monday.
According to the militia representative, an even larger withdrawal of citizens from Slavyansk started after this because “they realized that neither a bomb shelter nor a holy place, church, will save them.”
“There are queues at checkpoints again. People are fleeing the city but the army is turning them back,” the Slavyansk militia representative said.

Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
