On March 9, 2022, the media reported that unknown people had outlined the gates of the Russian Orthodox Church in Amsterdam. The symbol of the invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine was put on the entrance to the temple.

As can be judged from the photo from the parish profile on the Facebook social network, we are talking about the church of St. Nicholas parish of the Hague diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, which a few days earlier refused to commemorate Patriarch Kirill because of his assessment of the Russian attack on Ukraine.

Earlier it was reported that the clergy of the temple in Amsterdam clarified that they did not leave the Russian Orthodox Church.
