Ukraine Government Moves To Ban The Ukraine Orthodox Church

Euronews: Kyiv a step closer to banning Ukrainian Orthodox Church  

Ukrainian lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday that would ban religious organisations and churches with alleged ties to Moscow. 

Ukraine’s lower house of parliament has passed a bill in the first of two required readings that would ban religious organisations and churches with alleged ties to Russia or in favour of its invasion of Ukraine. 

Kyiv accuses the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) specifically of collaborating with Russia after its invasion of the country in 2022. 

The bill was backed by 267 deputies and opposed by 15. It will become law if it passes a second reading and is signed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

WNU Editor: What can I say. This parliamentary vote was a sham. Ukraine's major opposition parties are banned and could not vote. And as for the vote. A fifth of the country has just been told that their church is now banned. So much for respecting human rights .... If Ukraine is truly committed to human rights, it must uphold its freedom of religion (William W. Burke-White, The Hill).

The reason for this anti christian vote was not that they sided with Russia.

It was because that Church was anti fag, anti tranny and anti pervert. It did not fit with the zelinski/USA new progressive Ukraine.

Ukraine sold its soul to the woke devil. If they want more cool aid, comply with our ideological mandates. That’s the real invasion that happened to Ukraine.

the Ukrainian Orthodox church now reports directly to the Patriarch in Turkey. They had reported to the Patriarch in Moscow, but that patriarch made the Russian church an arm of the government.

But we get the lies from WNU because he is an asshole.

That is s lie. The Orthodox Church is not an arm of government.

But currently the government and the church see eye to eye on a lot of issues.

But the ukie government in its role of a champion of woke progressive perversion, hates the church and does everything it can to destroy the Holy sites and persecute the faithful.

Long live comrade zelinskie and the lbgtq evil lifestyle
