So, June 19, 2014 armed activists "the People's Republic of Donetsk" seized the building of the church "Word of Life" in Torez Donetsk region of Ukraine, which is a union of Protestant Churches of Ukraine (DNC). "Armed men with chevrons" Cossack Guards "broke into the rear of the church, was ordered to remove the furniture and get out on the grounds that all that these churches and sects believe they will destroy them," - said in a Facebook Donetsk pastor Sergey jamb.

A Christian Kaliphate????
No doubt this is a somewhat garbled translation from Ukrainian or Russian. If I can find the subejct and the verb, it seems to indicate the militants previously barred services of the Kiev Patriarchate (Ukrainian Orthodox), the Ukrainian Greek Catholics and the Roman Catholics.
Yes, I agree with your understanding.
