Muslims are observing Ramadan at war in Ukraine for a second year, and most people praying at a mosque near the eastern front line this week were soldiers dressed in camouflage. "I ask Allah to protect our mosque. I ask Allah to protect Ukraine... and to punish tyrants," Mullah Murat Suleymanov says in prayers for the holy month. Among the worshippers is Said Ismagilov, formerly one of Ukraine's Muslim spiritual leaders, who chose to "stand up and defend" his motherland, rather than "stay in the mosque and pray".
