I don’t speak Ukrainian or Russian, but I’ve read several stories from mainstream publications and journalists that say that Ukrainian president, Zelenskyy, is trying to ban the Orthodox Church in Ukraine because of its ties to Russia.
The times we live in are definitely going to worsen. I know there is a verse in the Bible that describes Believers starving for the Truth of God’s Word and persecution such as this will amplify it.
The struggle in Ukraine has always been about the Orthodox church. It's basically a ground game between the Theocracy of Russia versus the Globohomo WEF alphabet future. The media and the federal government have been (surprise!) lying this whole entire time.
Read MARTYR'S MIRROR or the FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS if you want to get an idea of how rough persecution can really get down through the centuries with the National Governments allied with the government sanctioned State Churches and the Catholic Churches against the Believers who refused to bow down to the unbiblical orders of the government. IOW, sit down, shut up and stop talking about Jesus on pain of death. For example, In the history of the Anabaptists in central Europe, their numbers grew exponentially the more that TPTB tried to stamp them out by killing them.
Few of us here alive today IN WESTERN SOCIETY have yet "resisted unto blood." AS have many Christians who've gladly given their lives in modern times for Christ in China or Nigeria.
Seems as if persecution causes the growth and spread of reliance on God with deepening faith and trust, whereas many fall deeply into apostasy and sin, amidst a soft, secular, materialistically focused culture. God knows what is necessary for the purification of His Church. Bringing His Flock into the fold as the wolves howl at the door, devouring the goats

Remember "The Book of Eli", with Denzel Washington? I think of that movie often these days.

Thank you.
There will be Martyrs until Jesus Christ reigns.
