On the night of January 20, 2026, the Holy Spirit Church of the UOC in the village of Sursko-Lytovske, Dnipropetrovsk region, came under fire, community representatives reported to the UOJ.
The church windows were shattered by fragments and require replacement. At the same time, local authorities stated that they only help private homeowners.
The Holy Spirit Church was built in the 2010s to replace the one destroyed by the Bolsheviks. It is an exact copy of the Resurrection Church in Foros.
