The investigation and film were created by a team focused on war crime investigations, including journalist Danilo Mokryk.

As reported by Olha Rudenko, editor-in-chief of 'The Kyiv Independent', the film reveals the names of officials involved in religious persecution and features interviews with clergy from churches that are being oppressed under Russian occupation.

"This week we are releasing a new, critically important film: 'No God But Theirs'. It details how Russians are persecuting Christians in Melitopol. Why is it important? Because this topic has a good chance to 'reach out' to Western audiences, particularly Americans. Religious freedom is a story close to their hearts. And the oppression of Protestants is especially pressing," Rudenko writes.

From the very first days of the full-scale invasion, churches became not only places of prayer but also centers of stability for local residents. Daily prayers for Ukraine were held in the central square,

However, over time, believers had to go underground. The occupying authorities conducted searches, interrogations, banned church activities, and confiscated property. Some priests were deported or forced to flee under pressure and threats.

The primary audience for the film is international, but the team from 'The Kyiv Independent' will hold a special screening in Ukrainian for viewers in Kyiv.

After the screening, there will be a discussion with the authors.
