Zelensky Bans Religious Organizations Associated with Russia, Investigates Ukrainian Orthodox Church

This Jew is hardcore.

He’s like some kind of quadruple Jew.

No one has banned Christianity since like, the Bolsheviks.

Ukraine on Friday banned the activities of religious organizations “affiliated with centers of influence” in Russia and said it would examine the links between the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox churches.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree enacting a National Security and Defense Council decision to impose personal sanctions against representatives of religious organizations associated with Russia, which invaded Ukraine more than nine months ago.

Zelenskyy’s decree additionally provided for examining the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, one of two Orthodox bodies in Ukraine following a schism that in 2019 resulted in the establishment of one with independence from the Russian church.

Ukrainian officials suspect the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is promoting pro-Russian views and that some priests may be actively collaborating with Russia. Moscow Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has justified Russia’s war in Ukraine as part of a “metaphysical struggle” to prevent a liberal ideological encroachment from the West.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Ukrainian authorities last week of “waging a war on the Russian Orthodox Church.” But the Rev. Mykolay Danylevich, who has often served as a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, disputed Peskov’s characterization, asserting on Telegram that the church was not Russian.

The UOC declared its independence from Moscow in May over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In his nightly video address on Thursday, Zelenskyy said the use of Kyiv’s Pechersk Lavra monastery complex — a UNESCO world heritage site revered as the cradle of Orthodox monasticism in the region — would also come under further scrutiny.

Frankly, we got close to something like this with the coronavirus hoax. They were closing churches indefinitely, claiming there was a virus. There wasn’t any virus, but even if there were, they normalized the idea of shutting down churches, which has always been illegal.

Apparently, when people hear about this now, it doesn’t bother them. Probably, people have their own problems. But the US government is telling us these Ukraine people are our problem, they’re telling us we have to freeze to death for Ukraine Democracy, and that democracy… bans churches.

More needs to be said about this. We will be looking into Russian sources and information on Twitter (Ukraine Democracy War material is allowed on Twitter now).
