General view of snow-covered Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, Dec. 2, 2022. 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 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.
Members of the Security Service of Ukraine, the country’s National Guard and police searched the monastery last week after a priest spoke favorably about Russia during a service there. The Security Service said its agents searched more than 350 church buildings in all, including at another monastery and in a diocese of the Rivne region, 240 kilometers west of Kyiv.
Zelensky needs to stop thinking he can blindly pillage and abuse Russian culture.
Just and attack on religious freedom. Why not bans the activities of Zionists 'affiliated with centers of influence' in Israel ? This is a Zionist attack on Christianity.
Oh the 🇺🇦 people are gonna LOVE this!
Whatever it takes to save democracy
Bunch of Nazis they're 🤷 Only Nazis would do such a thing.
It's hard to comprehend for people outside Ukraine that Ukrainian Orthodox Church (MP) is not Ukrainian nor Church
You mean he is banning the Orthodox Church
For those who don't know, there are literal branches of the Russian orthodox Church planted deep within the Ukrainian Orthodox system. The Russian Orthodox Church has been actively supporting and encouraging the invasion of Ukraine from within Russian since its beginning
el ucranazi payaso que tienen de presidente ya les habia prohibido a los partidos politicos de la oposicion. Sostenido por el imperio y por el cancer de la humanidad que es Europa.
So the government will now pick the religion of Ukrainians. You know, to defend freedom.
Fascism
keep doing this. it's going great!
Hitler banned Judaism 🤫
Ummmm…seems very Nazi ish to do that
Sounds familiar America after 9/11 vibes, that ended well, right?!?
Sounds fucked, but okay.
Ukraine is Mini-3.Reich.
Adolf says hi…
“Western values”
A free Country Huh?
All because some priest said war wasn't good. Zelensky is a monster who enjoys throwing human lives away so long as he gets his 15-minutes of fame (and billions in cash).
Fascist............
Pathetic
No way, the regime that has been silencing all political opposition, terrorizing it's own citizens, and shutting down all journalism; continues to do bad things. Color me shocked.
So he's outlawed a free press, broken up political parties & is now going after Christians. Why is our government supporting this little tyrant?
they’ve banned religion, alternative political parties, outside media to enter war zone, and they have a strong nazi influence in their military… and we keep giving them billions.
If I'm not mistaken, that's the vast majority of Orthodox churches in Ukraine.
NATO backing him as he violates the people’s rights,pushes for nuclear war,passes laws that protect himself and his closest friends from being financially investigated,as he demands more money,our money should not be used by anyone suppressing his people and hiding his finances
Lord have mercy on the faithful Orthodox Christians in Ukraine.
Now he thinks he's Henry VIII.
True democracy. 👍
The United States is now waging war against God to achieve full spectrum dominance.
I imagine this is being handled about as responsibly as after 9/11 when we were locking up anyone vaguely Muslim sending money to their families
Banning churches now? This is the moral champion of the West? Yuck!
You mean the largest church in Ukraine?
Does the Untied States have requirement that foreign organizations must have policies opposing the banning of churches in order to receive funding from the federal government?
Because your followers will want to know what they are supporting.
Yet being a Nazi still allowed
Ukraine has its own church. Ukraine does not need a church that justifies the death of thousands of Ukranians as a 'holy war'! Russia is a terrorist state
Freedom loving eh?
Have people figured out Zelensky and the Ukrainian government aren't good people yet?
Ukraine banned already all opposition parties and media… and tried to start its own government affiliated church…
Don't we call this genocide when other countries do this?
Millions of Ukrainians have their church banned.
lmao, what Freedom Itself TM are we protecting again?
What, Ukraine bans churches sounds too bad you have to be creative with your wording?
Let’s make sure to give him another 100 billion
Zelensky hates Christians and Christianity.
They banned the orthodox church which 66% of Ukrainians are a part of, seems alittle strange to me.
Marxists infiltrated religion many decades ago.
The ban will be over very soon, Ukraine will be liberated. Akhmat sila 🇷🇺 Z
