Russia detains worshippers after "wrong prayer" for Zelenskyy - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



In St. Petersburg, around 70 people were detained after gathering for what they called “spiritual meetings” – discussions about life, spirituality, and meaning. The meetings weren’t political… at least not on paper.

But Russian authorities saw it differently. Security forces reportedly grew alarmed after learning that some participants were praying for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That was enough to turn a harmless discussion circle into a “national security” issue.
