Zelensky Army shells Hospital in Donetsk on Christmas Eve. Night Masses canceled in Russian city Attacked by Ukraine
Introduction by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio
Last year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the eve of Orthodox Christmas (January 7 for the Moscow Patriarchate) stripped the citizenship of 23 priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which he continues to persecute despite public condemnation by the United Nations.
“ZELENSKY’s SATANISM!” Russian Spokeswoman on Orthodox Priests deprived of Citizenship on Christmas
Spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Marija Zakharova, called the act “satanism.”
This year the Zionist leader of a pro-Nazi regime (for the Azov Battalion and other far-right military groups that idolize the SS) took the example of the other Zionist, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and bombed a hospital in Donetsk , in the pro-Russian Republic of Donbass.
If both can carry out these war crimes it is because they have the protection of NATO countries, especially the US, United Kingdom, Germany and Italy, but also that of the British lawyer Karim Khan who is Attorney General of the International Criminal Courts of The Hague.
Ukraine shells hospital in Donetsk on Christmas Eve
by Russia Today
Ukrainian forces launched multiple attacks against civilian targets in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on Saturday, with one of strikes damaging a hospital in Donetsk, according to the local authorities.
At least three people were injured after a shell hit the Central Clinical Hospital No. 6 in the Leninsky district of Donetsk, according to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination. All of the victims were patients at the facility. The attack also damaged several houses in other parts of Donetsk, with witnesses calling it a “Christmas miracle” that no one was seriously injured.
Photos and videos from the scene show the aftermath of the explosion, with windows shattered and glass shards and broken blinds scattered throughout the hospital.
Donetsk frequently comes under rocket attacks due to its proximity to the front line. Four people were killed after Kiev’s forces shelled the city shortly after midnight on January 1, in the first deadly attack of 2024.
As Russia prepared to celebrate Christmas on January 7, the Orthodox Church has canceled the traditional night services in the capital of Belgorod Region and all settlements located within a 20-kilometer-wide zone along the Russian border with Ukraine.
The city of Belgorod, located around 40 kilometers from the border, has been the target of Ukrainian missile attacks and shelling since December 30. In that time, a massive strike has claimed the lives of 24 people and left more than 100 injured. According to the Russian military, Kiev’s forces used banned cluster munitions in the attack.

Christmas masses canceled in Russian city attacked by Ukraine
The Russian Orthodox Church has canceled Christmas Eve night services in the capital of Belgorod Region and all settlements located within a 20-kilometer-wide zone along the Russian border with Ukraine.
The city of Belgorod, located around 40 kilometers from the border, has been subjected to Ukrainian strikes for seven days in a row.
Night services will not be held in Belgorod or nearby areas, nor in the border city of Shebekino, which was also targeted by Ukrainian strikes and even ground attacks last year, as well as in a 20-kilometer-wide border zone, the church’s regional metropolitan, Ioann, told his congregation during a sermon that was also published on YouTube. Ioann cited “the danger that besets all of us,” referring to the Ukrainian attacks. He also vowed to pray for all the victims of Kiev’s strikes that remain in hospitals.

Metropolitan Ioann still called on Orthodox Christians in the region to celebrate Christmas but to focus on their “spiritual self-improvement” and on an “inner journey,” rather than on the ceremonial aspects of the holiday. “Let’s thank God that we still have an opportunity to pray on Christmas Eve while preserving our traditions,” he said.
Belgorod has been the target of Ukrainian missile attacks and shelling since December 30. In that time, a massive strike claimed the lives of 24 people and left more than 100 injured. According to the Russian military, Kiev’s forces used banned cluster munitions in their attack.
By January 4, around 600 city residents were evacuated due to unexploded ordnance as the Russian military launched mine-clearance and bomb-disposal operations in the area. Cluster munitions were banned by more than 110 nations under a UN convention in 2008 due to the extreme danger they pose to civilians, as they scatter small bomblets that can remain unexploded after the initial blast and effectively act like mines.
Although Ukrainian forces have been striking civilians in Russia’s border regions for months, the December 30 attack was the worst of its kind since the start of the conflict. Moscow has accused the US and UK of helping plan the strike.
A security source also told RT that the strike on Belgorod had been personally ordered by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and was carried out by the neo-Nazi Kraken unit based in Kharkov.
Around a dozen Russian cities canceled New Year’s festivities in the wake of the tragedy, in solidarity with Belgorod.
The city saw six more days of missile attacks and shelling, with the latest major strike coming on January 4.
