Religion and Human Rights in the Realities of the Russian-Ukrainian War

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the relationship between religion and human rights in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is noted that Russia’s expansion results in a decrease in religious freedom in the temporarily occupied lands, a narrowing of the scope of this fundamental norm. At the same time, the author emphasizes not only the violations of the rights and freedoms of believers in the temporarily occupied territories of the country caused by external factors, but also some internal problems of the socio-religious life of modern Ukraine.The article analyzes the actions of the Ukrainian authorities to ensure the rights of believers and religious organizations to freedom of conscience in difficult conditions of war, when, on the one hand, it is urgent to guarantee national security and the safety of citizens, and on the other hand, to ensure the rights of believers, regardless of their religious affiliation.
