A Russian-controlled 'court' in occupied Crimea has fined the Head of the St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki Men's Monastery for holding a church service on the private land on which the monastery stands. Russia, which is internationally condemned for its illegal occupation of Ukrainian Crimea, claimed that such worship constituted 'unlawful missionary activities'.
