Later, Suleimanov published a video message, urging citizens to never forget Russian crimes and never support the aggressor country.

"We are unbreakable. We know we will win because this is a matter of justice. Ukraine has already won. And through such actions, we see that they (the Russians - Ed.) are powerless. They can only strike civilians. They can only do what brings tears and pain," the mufti emphasized.

According to information from the representative office of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, all windows and doors in the mosque building were shattered.

It was clarified that the complex also houses a gymnasium and the office of the Congress of Muslims of Ukraine, both of which sustained significant damage.

"The Islamic Cultural Center is an important spiritual hub for the Muslim, including Crimean Tatar, community of Ukraine," the representative office reminded.

Later, Suleimanov released another video, wishing "peace, mercy, and God's blessings" to his "brothers everywhere."

"The building of the Islamic Cultural Center and the mosque of Muslims of Ukraine were subjected to missile strikes by the Russian aggressor. This mosque, which you see, is one of the largest mosques that gathers thousands of worshippers on Fridays and during prayers," he shared.

The mufti added that "during the period of Russian aggression against Ukraine," significant harm is being inflicted on "civilian and religious sites."

"Pray to God to protect us and His servants everywhere," Suleimanov concluded.
