Main Areas of International Activity of Ukrainian Christian Churches

The article analyzes the international activities of the main Christian denominations in Ukraine (the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, and Protestant denominations) in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has been ongoing since 2014 and became full-scale in 2022. The war has radically changed the priorities of all denominations: from classical ecumenism and missionary work to mass humanitarian aid, the protection of religious freedom, and countering Russia's use of religion as an instrument of aggression. Despite repression, the destruction of more than 630 religious buildings, and the deaths of dozens of clergy, Ukrainian churches have demonstrated resilience and have become an important tool for strengthening international solidarity and preserving national identity amid the ongoing conflict. Thus, the international activities of Ukrainian Christian communities have become an integral part of supporting Ukrainians during the difficult war years and a significant aid in defending Ukraine's independence.
