The only church in the village of Kyselivka, Kherson region, has been destroyed by Russian shelling.

Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"The only church in Kyselivka village (Kherson region) was fully destroyed by Russian shelling. The Hague Convention IV protects religious buildings during hostilities, but for Russian war criminals there is no God, nor any respect for religion," Reznikov wrote.

Reznikov said on December 24 that the Russians violate the requirements of the Convention respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land every day by constantly shelling residential buildings in Ukraine.
