has turned into a tool for promoting war the hierarchy of the moscow patriarchate of the russian orthodox church upholds the ideology of russian peace, declaring. the war against ukraine and the satanic west is a holy war of all russians. the decisions of this council clearly showed that the russian orthodox church is a fundamentalist organization that ideologically serves the terrorist actions of its state. this is a kind of pseudo-orthodox hamas. this order also caused outrage in our parliament. some colleagues, who had hesitated before, decided to support the roc ban. but suddenly a new one appeared. obstacle. a few days later , a strange letter arrived at the moscow cathedral addressed to the leadership of the verkhovna rada. in it, the deputies were threatened with sanctions from the us and international courts if they dared to ban the russian orthodox church. the letter was written by an american-canadian lawyer, robert amsterdam. he was hired by an oligarch of russian origin and a sponsor of the russian orthodox church, vadym novinsky, to protect the interests of the moscow patriarchate.

other real estate in the event that a religious organization refuses to sever ties with the russian orthodox church or other organizations on the territory of the aggressor's country. another military winter passed, but in the spring of the 24th, the russian one the orthodox church continues to operate in ukraine, although for its ban there is... it is necessary, the military and political need to strengthen national security exists, it exists, there is public support, the loss of the character of a religious organization by the russian orthodox church, because it became an accomplice of armed aggression against ukraine, having given it a sacred character, of course, patriarch kirill personally, the clerics of the russian orthodox church justified aggression against ukraine. the most ardent chauvinists in their sermons blessed the murders of ukrainians. without prayer in a package a package. you don't equip hails, you push every cigar, lord, have mercy, lord, have mercy, and so on, and so on, and so on, then, uh, not because you want to, you have to, but as an institution, the russian orthodox chur

this mean... that the adoption of this law puts an end to the existence of a branch of the russian orthodox church and we understand that we are talking about a church that has a long history of cooperation with the russian orthodox church, this is the ukrainian orthodox church the orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, and what can prevent ukrainians from getting rid of this church. i think that we are facing a long period of such certain uncertainty, that is, the law puts an end to the issues of legal entities, that is, these communities, issues of ownership, but about which, which these, religious organizations, these, priests will follow the path. and their parishioners, for now we can only predict, study options, and it is obvious that this process will be accompanied by some new decisions that are no longer within the scope of ukrainian legislation, that is , no longer within the competence of the verkhovna rada, for example, but within the competence of other centers with... the decision, let's say this, but recently this story appeared on the agenda, and they started talking about it,

moscow, but what will be the reaction in your opinion, from the side of russia, because the russian orthodox church has always believed that everything that is on the territory of ukraine is originally russian, and theirs, including the church, all these parishes, they controlled all these structures for a long time and probably they also partially control, er... both for putin and for russians in general, this existence of the russian orthodox church, this, this, this is a very important element of their policy towards ukraine. of course, of course, for them it is such a painful process, and in fact there is already a first reaction, a very sharp one, that is, they are all earthly and heavenly punishments on our heads, so to speak so to speak, they call for this decision, but here we should also pay attention to certain such moments, which i would associate with such a specific sphere of church politics, we remember. what was the reaction of the same onufry to the beginning of a full-scale invasion, that is, it was not rejection and rejection, and i think, for a certain part of the clergy, the ukr

church of the russian orthodox church have been prosecuted during the full-scale...invasion is still a serious figure and shows that russia was and remains the country that influences the ukrainian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church, including through the russian orthodox church, but in this case the sbu also did not report, unfortunately, how many criminal cases were initiated against the priests of the uoc mp during the great, well, that is to say, all... of this russian-ukrainian war, considering that in the first year russia's invasion of ukraine, we saw how the churches and monasteries of the russian orthodox church were used by these russian organized orthodox structures. in order to hide there russian special service agents who, as was the case in donetsk region , were hiding in the premises of the ukrainian ukrainian orthodox church, and of course, there are many questions about how, how this whole procedure will take place, in what way the russian branch will disappear f

the russian orthodox church will cease to operate in the russian orthodox church in ukraine after the adoption of the law, i will ask you in the blitz poll format what you think about this, whether this law will cease the activities of the branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. ms. solomi? i think so volodymyr would be, probably more correct, he is from the ruling committee, but also my answer blitz, unfortunately, no, this is only the beginning, and she can only offer for those. e parishes or parishes, which are very directly documented , are related, more precisely, directly to the russian synod. thank you, ms. solemiya, mr. volodymyr, i have a slightly different answer, the russian orthodox church should stop its activities, because a separate article of the law clearly states the prohibition of the activities of the russian orthodox church of ukraine. as for other organizations that affiliated with it, the so-called uocmp, for that it will be necessary to really conduct an examination, for that... a court decision will be needed, all the necessary mechanisms for this re

territory of ukraine state, and even though this church is called the ukrainian orthodox church, it has long been actually russianhurch and the name does not change anything, moreover, literally half an hour ago i had the general of the sbu in the reserve viktor yagun on the air and he says that at the moment about 70 priests of this so-called ukrainian orthodox church are on various matters, well, most of them are cases about collaboration or about the fact that they work for a foreign company. the federal security service of the russian federation, and these priests who adhere to, or who profess the russian peace, they were and remain in the church, but they did not go anywhere, and this is a big problem, and this is a big challenge for the national security of the ukrainian state, unfortunately, unfortunately, so far, the ukrainian authorities have not made any important decisions that would make it impossible. the existence of this extensive network, the kremlin network in ukraine, because it was somehow built by the russian orthodox church and the same gundyay. and part of the priests, as they were, yes and

that russia... was and remains the country that influences the ukrainian orthodox church, ooc, mp , in that number through the russianbut in this case, the security service of ukraine did not report, unfortunately, how many criminal cases were initiated against priests in... the russian orthodox church, taking into account the fact that in the first year of russia's invasion of ukraine, we saw how the churches and monasteries of the russian orthodox church were used, er, by these russian, er, organized orthodox structures in order to, or hide there, er -er, russian special services, who... as it was on donetsk people were hiding in the premises of the church of the ukrainian ukrainian orthodox church, and of course there are a lot of questions about how this whole procedure will take place, and in what way the branch of the russian orthodox church, which has always been the ukrainian orthodox church of moscow , will disappear from the map of ukraine patriarchate. perhaps these and other questions will be answered by maksym rozumny, political expert, doctor of political sciences, mr. maksym, i congratulate you, thank

on the website of the russian orthodox church , the so-called order of the worldwide russian people'scouncil, church meetings held in moscow, were published. among other things, the document states that, i quote: the entire territory of modern ukraine should enter the zone of exclusive influence of russia, and large-scale russia's invasion of ukraine is called a holy war. from a spiritual and moral point of view , a special military operation is a holy war, in which russia and its people, protecting the single spiritual space of holy russia, fulfill a mission. a deterrent that protects the world from the onslaught of globalism and the victory of the west, which has fallen into satanism, is stated in the document that was adopted there. to a large meeting called the universal russian people's council. the patriarch of the russian orthodox church himself, or simply put, gundyaev, a general or colonel or lieutenant colonel the fsb, during this conclave, stated that this order was aimed at strengthening and developing the so-called russian peace, at the same time denying its outright nazi

the ukrainian state is now taking measures against the orthodox church of the russian patriarchate, demolishing churches, damaging churches, disrupting church services, insulting or humiliating and obstructing believers who go to church. the orthodox church of the russian patriarchate declares that with violence against their objects must be ended. and although harold weil read the text on the podium, in fact it was only a formality, because this text was written in the fifth service of the federal security service of russia in the fsb. german spiegel journalists conducted an investigation and proved it. journalists published hacked correspondence between the curator of the german deputy in berlin and his manager. to whom a video of a pair performance was sent to confirm the work done. i accepted, it's great - answered alexey and immediately clarified: what will happen on the polish topic? among the authors hristo groziv is a well-known investigator of this material. i know hristo groziv very well. we all remember his investigation into the poisoning of navalny. he investigated the scandalous s

do you, as a former priest in the russian orthodox church, agree with ukraine that the church has beenne? well, first of all, there is no russian orthodox church in ukraine now. so what is the ukrainian orthodox church has... which is the moscow affiliated...? well, it is... the question is precisely whether it is affiliated because it is not affiliated any longer now for a few years, and there is no reason why it should be victimised. but i think that in a sense, what is happening in ukraine because... well, how should i explain it? i think that what happens in a war, especially if the victory does not seem to be very near, is that the massive aggression is being canalised from the external enemy to the internal one. so in this sense, i would say that ukraine is really repeating the... well, i wouldn't want to use a mistake, it has to be some. . .stronger word. but what is being done in russia. so, obviously, the state in ukraine is farfrom being neutral. and of course, as a christian, as a priest, i cannot approve of cases when the churches are taken over by violence and by force, an

solemiya, for russians , the existence of a church under the control of the russian orthodox church is and has always been important, that is, putin has repeatedly spoken publicly. about the fact that this spiritual unity, that we came from the same root or from the same church there, well , of course, this foundation, which he tried to pump up during the last 2-4 years of his stay in power, it testifies to what is obvious , obviously, not so easy from the side this process will take place in russia and... obviously, this is a rather painful process for putin himself, who lives in some of his illusions and makes up his pseudo-historical intelligence and tries to explain the unity of ukrainians and russians. what do you think the reaction of putin, who always counted on the roc , well, to the branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, now it is called the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow... patriarchate, will they somehow manage to maintain their influence on some regions, can they rename some, well, create some church, name it there, conditionally speaking, the ukrainian

they also proposed to implement the statute of the russian orthodox church into ukrainian legislation, i.e. to provide the moscow church has a legal status in our country. as it turns out, my proposal to include tomos in the law somewhere categorically refused to support, and the statute of the russian orthodox church, please. introduced into the legal body of ukraine. such amendments are at least sabotage if there is work for the interests of the enemy. i hope that someday we will learn about the motives. colleagues, who is in favor of recommending to the verkhovna rada to consider draft law number 8371 in the second reading and as a whole, taking into account the amendments approved by the committee in the comparison table. please vote. kuturaev for. knyazhytsky for. zulin for. mushkov for, thank you, nalyotov for, thank you, i will say, thank you, yes, colleagues, who is against, who abstained? thank you, colleagues, the decision was taken unanimously, i congratulate you on the committee's adoption of this very important law. fortunately, thanks to the vigilance of the committee, i

talk about communication of the moscow patriarchate, which is now called the ukrainian orthodox church with the russian, because they hold... councils, which talked about the fact that we are supposedly autonomous, but in prayers, they still remember cyril, and remember and glorify him, as the patriarch of the russian orthodox church. well, as for pare's resolution, it will definitely not be a decisive factor, but an additional argument when the draft law on the termination of the organization's activities will be considered. related to the russian federation, and it is essentially about that and about the uoc of the moscow patriarchate, then yes, this will be an additional argument, sufficiently weighty, i think, for its supporters. draft law will use this argument, but i agree with my colleague, yes, here we need to act carefully enough, balanced, i would say, systematically and consistently. i really hope that the relevant state structures of ukraine, not only the verkhovna rada, but also the structures of the executive power, there are now professional people who are engaged in this, who know the s

in a number of regional centers, the churches of the russian orthodox church, under the pressure of there transferred to the local church, and the city councils - lviv, khmelnytskyi. lutsk, ivano-frankivsk, terminated lease contracts for communal property and land with the moscow church. this is a separate big problem that the newly adopted law should solve. i told about her in detail in his documentary "church without christ". we are going to lviv. agency ngl media has done a fantastic research. they created a map on which on... all the lands that are owned or used by the russian orthodox church, they cleaned this list as much as possible from those who are not in the pcmp, only those who in one way or another indicate in their name remained, yes , and if there are, for example, i know such cases when the russian church, and the land and the building itself are simply registered to natural persons, here is an example of an infographic, in cherkasy, yes 96% communal whether in sumy or in transcarpathia, we can see how much, well, in yernivtsia oblast, i also see most of the communal pro

a resolution of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, which calls for the russian orthodox churcho be treated as an ideological continuation of putin's regime. recently, even on may 6, the parliament of the republic of estonia called for treating the russian orthodox church as a full-fledged, let's say , subject that carries out russia's military aggression. this is at the same time. that in estonia, i was there at one time on a business trip, there is a part of the country, it is a small country, there is very many russians who still live there since soviet times, who do not even want to learn the estonian language, well, they have their own problems there, that is, flocks , as they say, and this influence is also significant there, it is quite significant, but in ukraine it is not significant only by the fact that it is a moral influence, i don't know, i think that these stories are a living experience, when they refuse to pay tribute to the fallen heroes in the orthodox church, and there are such moments, i know, when there is a village and... there is a church of the moscow pa

or some comments from other orthodox churches in the world, there are 14 of them, so from their point of view, the uoc is not an independent church. and the part of the russian orthodox church, i think that it should somehow lead us to certain thoughts and conclusions, so in fact, in fact, in these ten months , the russian orthodox church has to... decide what path it will take next is going to go to ukraine, what fate does she choose for herself and for her parishioners, because of course there is a path of confrontation, radicalization, already open, let's say, work and support of the enemy, and there is a path, well, a more moderate one, there are two options, they can really break ties with moscow. with the kremlin, so they will have certain problems with their recognition in the world of international orthodoxy, but by the way, according to the conclusions of ukrainian religious scholars, they will not completely lose their canonicality, uh, and, for example, such sacraments as baptism or there church marriage, they will have the right to do and they will be recognized, and other things, well, let's not delve into it now, the main thing is that they are

organizations related to the country aggressor, a soft option for ousting the branch of the russian orthodox church from ukraine, because there are nine months from the start of the law, and during these nine months, the church, the main church, which is considered affiliated with the russian federation, the uocp must decide how actually continue to live, according to this. of the law, the head of the state service for ethnopolitics and freedom of conscience , viktor yelensky, explained how, according to the new law, the connection of churches from the russian federation will be determined. i will quote mr. yelenskyi. the law expressly stipulates that the leaders of the ukrainian orthodox church may submit a statement that the uoc leaves the russian orthodox church, the bishops leave the episcopate, synod, and synodal commissions, if it does happen, this connection will be established. then the religious organization is issued a corresponding prescription, which says that the organization must take certain steps in order not to be part of the russian orthodox church, well, everything seems to be cl

petition to the bishops' council, to the ukrainian orthodox church that i ask to take these from me.' he was defrocked, that is, he was defrocked by the russianurch, that is, he is not a priest or a bishop or anyone from the point of view. the russian orthodox church, accordingly, those ordinations of priests and deacons that it made after the bishops, they turned out to be invalid. alexander drobinko, metropolitan of peryaslovsky and vishnevsky, orthodox church of ukraine, a citizen of the state of ukraine, who is integral and independent. i also found the beginning of the nineties. today he is a prominent and prominent face of the new orthodox church of ukraine, the ocu. before that i was in moscow. then alexander still had an a, graduated from the moscow theological academy. since ninety-eight, assistant, and then personal secretary of metropolitan of kiev and ivsia of ukraine vladimir. in the eighteenth year he began a new life as a sub-mafor of constantinople, becoming alexander in the oo. when did the split begin, in fact, in its active phase when it was prohibited. in a distant city, here was her opinion, the opinion of the people, if

since we say that russia is a terrorist state, then all its institutions, and i consider the russian orthodox church exclusively one of the institutions of the russian federation, not only that, it is ideological and military resource, yes, then yes, if russia is a terrorist state, then so be it her church is a terrorist church. thank you, mr. volodymyr, the roc is an ideological structure that serves the terrorist state, the russian federation, and justifies russia's state terror against ukraine. thank you, actually, why are we asking about the terrorist activities of the russian orthodox church, the reason for this was actually the situation in estonia that they want the moscow church. to recognize terrorist organizations there, and this information appeared earlier than today's resolution of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, which clearly defines what the russian orthodox church is. first about pare, today parye unanimously recognized the russian orthodox church as an instrument of kremlin propaganda and influence, and patriarch kirill and the hierarchs of the russian orthodox

in a number of regional centers, the churches of the russian orthodox church, under pressure from themunity, were transferred to the local church, and the city councils of lviv, khmelnytskyi, lutsk, ivano-frankivsk, broke with moscow the church leases communal property and land. this is a separate big problem that the newly adopted law should solve. i talked about it in detail in my documentary "church without christ". we are going to lviv. agency ngl media has done a fantastic study, they have created a map on which they have plotted all the lands that are owned or used by the russian orthodox church. this list was cleaned as much as possible from those who are not in the pcmp, only those who are mentioned in their name in one way or another remained, right? and if there is, for example, i know such cases when... a russian church, and the land and the building itself are simply registered to natural persons, here is an example of an infographic in cherkasy, and 96% is communal property, whether in sumy or in zakarpattia, we can see that, how many are there actually, even in chernivts

after a short list in the 22nd year, the priests of the russian orthodox church took up the old work ain a year later. why are you beating the military? in the spring of 2023 , the government's inaction on the issue of the legal ban of the russian orthodox church caused a radical reaction from society. after beating a serviceman zsu clerics of the moscow patriarchate. in the holy intercession cathedral in khmelnytskyi, ukrainians decided to do the government's work on their own. in a number of regional centers, the churches of the russian orthodox church, under the pressure of the community , transferred to the local church, and the city councils of lviv, khmelnytskyi, lutsk, and ivano-frankivsk terminated lease contracts for communal property and land with the moscow church. this is a separate big problem that the newly adopted law should solve. i talked about it in detail in my documentary church without christ. we are going to lviv. agency ngl media has done a fantastic research. they created a map on which they put all the lands that are owned or used by the russian orthodox churc

the key and one of the basic norms of this draft law is literally the prohibition of the russian orthodox church to our surprise , the position of the state committee on ethnopolitics and freedom of conscience was that let's not ban the russian orthodox church, it is somehow not wrong not to mention this structure at all. in the draft law, it is typical not to talk about its ban, well, this position did not find support in the majority of the committee, so i hope it will be preserved, and now , obviously, we are already at the stage when we are prescribing a specific toolkit, how this ban should be implemented, because in this project, which mykola knyazhytskyi and i prepared, such a toolkit was spelled out quite clearly, it related, among other things, to the implementation of ukrainian legislation tomos received by the orthodox church of ukraine, unfortunately, this norm was rejected by the representatives. this is the majority, so we are now looking for other tools that also ensure the irreversible liquidation of this structure in ukraine. mr. volodymyr , look, your colleague, people's deputy

volodymyr, in the documents of the russian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church, there are ts about the dependence of the ukrainian orthodox church and the russian orthodox church in ukraine. that is, this is one moment. there is absolutely no doubt that the so-called ukrainian orthodox church, as it calls itself, is actually a branch of the russian orthodox church, there are relevant examinations. accordingly, if this structure does not take steps to implement this mechanism, which is provided for in the draft law, then there will be every reason to say that this the structure is affiliated with the russian orthodox church, and if the law is passed, it should cease its activities in ukraine. yes, in this case there are two streams of information, that is, we see that the followers of this pseudo-church from russia and ukraine are working in the west to present this bill as us. on freedom of conscience, and not as a fight against the agents of the aggressor state, on the other hand, such interesting events took place, the same russian church explained that it is a very good

in a number of regional centers, the churches of the russian orthodox church, under the pressure of theransferred to the local church, and the city councils of lviv, khmelnytskyi, lutsk, and ivano-frankivsk broke contracts with the moscow church. communal property and land. this is a separate big problem that should resolve the newly adopted law. i talked about it in detail in my documentary film "church without christ". we are going to lviv. agency ngl media has done a fantastic research. they created a map on which they put all the lands that are owned or used by russian law. of the glorious church cleaned this list as much as possible from those who are not in the pcmp, only those who are mentioned in their name in one way or another remained, right? and if there is, for example, i know such cases when there is a russian church, and the land is simple and the building itself is decorated simply on natural persons. here is an example of an infographic: in cherkasy, yes, 96% of communal property is in sumy, or in transcarpathia, we can see that. but in fact, in chernivtsi oblast , i al

well , let me take this opportunity regarding the russian orthodox church, the russian orthodox churchtheir russian patriarchate of moscow published there in russia on the 27th, well, their document, i don't know what they are all called, about the war. against ukraine is sacred. that's how they used the terrorist attacks in that korokus, and for them the question of destroying ukrainians as such a nation is already at the level of the orthodox and their moscow patriarchate. it's clean in the form of genocide. calls for the destruction of a nation are pure genocide. that is, orthodox jihad, you can also call it that. yes yes. look, mr. igor, another topic is quite relevant in... in the context of what the russians are going to do, because they are currently conducting a large information work, and the center for countering disinformation at the nsdc says that the russians are throwing in a lot of information about the offensive on kharkiv, and this is part of the enemy's fear mongering campaign and is not true, but this is a tool used by the russians, mostly in ukraine , through which

the ukrainian orthodox church is not the russian orthodox church. iated with the russian orthodox church, as known. religious examination, in order to stop in court this religious examination must be submitted to the court and the trial continues. we all know, yes, the real state of affairs, but we follow, we are in the rule of law and we follow the legal procedure. thank you, mrs. yevheniya, yevheniya kravchuk, people's deputy of ukraine, was with we talked about voting to ban the russian orthodox church in ukraine. do you see that there will be a ban now? and the president made an appeal, i know that now kateryna will be a broad belt, because we are making an appeal to her, and she will tell us about the latest news. katya, you have a word. greetings, lesya, greetings andria, in a moment i will tell you about the consequences of the night attacks of the russians in ukraine and what will be the schedule of power outages in ukraine today, so i ask our viewers to wait.

the russian orthodox church and affiliated structures will not be able to use state and communal propertynd simplify the transition of communities to the ukrainian local orthodox church. the path of bill 8371 was ternist. it passed the first reading only in october 2023, and until the second it was long and scrupulously worked on in the committee. july 23 was the climax, the monomajority refused to put the draft law to the vote, so that session of the parliament ended with the tribune being blocked. first, today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, if they do not set, and they do not set the law on the church, meetings. there will be no council, and it happened, from that day on the draft law was worked on again in the committee. on august 16, yevgenia kravchuk, deputy head of the vru committee on humanitarian and information policy, reported that the amendments to the draft law were unanimously and finally approved. among the important changes, the draft law now has a new name on the protection of the constitutional order in the field of activity religious organizations. he will enter.

, well, as colleagues, we are asking our tv viewers whether the ukrainian orthodox church can become independent from the russianchurch, let's go through this question in the format of a blitz poll and ask you and hear your thoughts about what you think, whether it is possible ooc to become independent from the russian orthodox church, olga, the question, well, they had for this, well, i don't know, six years ago, yes from the moment. obtaining tomos, and somehow it didn't work out until now, so i don't know, i think it's just somehow time to admit that this is a systemic, systemic organization that is, well , subordinate to another country, and that's all, well, i understand that it can be so , that the uoc will have no other option than to become independent from the russian orthodox church, or at least join the ocu. bohdan, you can hear us, well, i hope you join in, i can hear you perfectly, i can see you, everything is fine, everything is much better now, because at the entrance we had some, some problems with the sound, do you think that the ukrainian orthodox church can become independent from the russian

this role is. destructive not only for the unity of the russian orthodox church and canonical orthodoxy on the territory of ukraine, it is destructive for the entire world orthodoxy, that is, for the entire universal orthodox church. by the way, we don’t often like to use the word universal orthodox church, although it is dogmatically correct, since it was usurped by the patriarchate of constantinople, but i think we shouldn’t give it away to him that which belongs to the truth. during the 20th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the patriarch of constantinople finally succumbed to the terrible temptation that at one time befell the western church. arrests of hierarchs, priests, believers, closing of churches, banning and actually burning of literature, that terrible stream of repression that goes to believers of the canonical orthodox church in ukraine, which is part of the russian orthodox church. in our program we have already discussed the order of the world russian people's council, where, in particular it says that russia and its people today are fulfilling the mission

about the connection of the moscow patriarchate, which is now called the ukrainian orthodox church, with of the russiandox church, because they held a council, and talked about the fact that we are supposedly autonomous, but in prayers, they still remember cyril and remember and glorify him as the patriarch of the russian orthodox church, well, regarding the pare resolution, that’s for sure will not be the deciding factor. but as an additional argument, when the draft law on the termination of the activities of organizations connected with the russian federation will be considered, and it essentially refers to the uoc of the moscow patriarchate, then yes, this will be an additional argument, sufficiently weighty, i i think supporters of this draft law will use this argument, but i agree with my colleague, but here we need to act carefully and carefully. i would say systematic and consistent. i really hope that the relevant state structures of ukraine, not only the verkhovna rada, but also the structures of the executive power, there are now professional people who are engaged in this, who know the situ

at a meeting with their main sponsor, they discussed how exactly the russian orthodox church is allegedlysecuted in ukraine. the famous theologian kyrylo govorun. he claims that a huge disinformation campaign is being conducted in the united states of america to support the russian church in ukraine in order to tell about the alleged repression against this church. this church shows itself as a martyr church, almost like jesus christ. who is financing all this? known a ukrainian of russian origin. the goal of amsterdam is very simple to make money. he's a lawyer, he, it's his business. novinsky's goal, of course, is to protect and preserve the status quo for the uoc in ukraine, this is his goal, and he pays amsterdam money for it. all this is done by absolutely dirty methods. here is metropolitan longin of the russian orthodox church, see what big bruises he has under his eyes. at first , the russian church said that these bruises were caused by the fact that he simply fell. who said that? many of their hierarchs, the odesa diocese, and the metropolitan of the russian orthodox church chur

andrii, well, i am generally concerned about what the russian orthodox church is actually doing in ukraine, mr. serhiy, so here i will, so to speak, articulate to the question that in fact, in fact, the metropolitans or representatives of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. let's say yesterday, the day before yesterday, there are a huge number of videos, by the way, there in social networks, they mention kirill again, let me remind you that kirill gundyaev is actually one of putin's closest associates, so in the war against ukraine, they are de facto further continue, relatively speaking, to quietly promote this russian peace, they continue to hold their religious services not only in kyiv. the pechersk lavra, let's talk about other ukrainian shrines, there is, for example, the same pochaiv lavra in the ternopil region, which, well, unlike the kiev-pechersk lavra, it is actually completely subordinated to the russian orthodox church today, in fact completely, there if i'm not mistaken, only a small part of it was transferred back to the state, in fact, the property of state control, th

the orthodox church of ukraine and the ukrainian greek catholic church, as traditional ukrainian churches, should be very actively involved. in this process in order to give these faithful, once russianrch, to find another church where they could realize themselves as ukrainian believers. i know that a huge part of these faithful simply remained in this structure due to inertia, and the problem was actually not so much the faithful of the russian orthodox church, but, after all, in its hierarchy, in its structure, in the priests who had a direct connection with moscow, often even performed. any instructions from moscow, including those aimed at undermining ukrainian defense capabilities, this is far from it, it does not apply to all the faithful of this church, so i i am convinced that a large part of them will absolutely voluntarily make a choice in favor of the ukrainian churches, others will consider loyalty to moscow, to moscow more important than to christ, it is obvious that it is quite possible that they will keep some of their attempts. pseudo-organizational, but it is very good that they will not have the opportunity to work legally, there will be no opportunity to use state

and i congratulate you, good day, well, let's... talk about why the law on the ban of the russian orthodox churchthere is also the point that we have a law on decommunization, decolonization, it is not fully implemented , even a resolution was written for the cabinet of ministers on decolonization, but again there is a certain brake here, we we will talk about decolonization, decommunization a little later, that's why that this is such a time-deferred influence, conventionally speaking, from the fact that now a certain city is called, that somehow no one will die from it, but from the negative influence of agents in cassocks, people really die, both physically and morally, why on your opinion, certain people, influencing their majority in the verkhovna rada, by all possible means, sometimes even completely stupid, sorry for the word, but they are here, trying to stop and, as they say, put the brakes on this law, this law. well, look at me, it's ongoing now it is the 10th year of the war with russia, and it is unacceptable that we allow a branch of the russian orthodox church, a branch of the fsb,

as a result, after the vote of the people's deputies , there is no longer a russian orthodox church inaine, all 13 churches of the bcmb in the buchansk community were transferred to the autocephalous church. to date , we have no parishes of the moscow patriarchate in the buchansk community for a year, all our churches have been transferred in accordance with the current legislation of ukraine. we didn't wait. while the verkhovna rada will accept something for us, because we are free people, the new season is your pair, order a hit, super warm and very comfortable boots alaska style, perfect fit, water-repellent material and a feeling of warmth even at 30°. frost only from 799 hryvnias. attention, we have expanded the line and added new designs. now alaska style is available in new colors and even with an increased height. call and order right now. we have kept the price of last year. alaska stayle boots will fit both men and women. sizes up to 46. side zippers will ensure a perfect fit. the heater perfectly retains heat and removes moisture. the top is waterproof and wear-resistant rai

in 1990, one of the candidates for the patriarchal throne of the russian orthodox church, hierarch felaretpatriarch alexy. to the one who caused a schism in the holy russian orthodox church, dragging his followers into destruction, annathem, va, imuzhe. your beatitudes and the russian orthodox church, they gave a chance already in ninety in the second year they had already excommunicated him, he was tonsured a monk, to the point of becoming a monk, so that he would have a path to repentance, and the blessed one thought that he would come to his senses anyway, that is, those schismatics who were driven to them, while the authorities drove kravchuk there, along with ulsotom, they captured the vladimir cathedral, that is, they captured the residence, they captured the entire katsu. and took an oath before christ and the gospel that he would leave, if i said that i would do it, then i will do it, i will submit a petition to the bishops’ council of the ukrainian orthodox church that i ask, as it were, to take from i have these powers, these rights ahead of me. in 1990 to head the uoc for life,
