church in ukraine, what will happen next and how will this affect the believers of the ukrainian orthodox church, which... used to be called the church of the moscow patriarchate, about this in the next 15 minutes of the bbc broadcast, jafer works in the studio moderated spiritual independence from moscow. with these words , volodymyr zelenskyy announced a draft law at the end of 2022, which now directly prohibits the activities of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. verkhovna rada voted for this bill in the second reading. the document was supported by 265 deputies against. 29, four more abstained. what does this law provide? its main goal, according to the deputies , is to ban the activities of the russian orthodox church and religious organizations related to it in ukraine. the ukrainian orthodox church was not named directly in the law, but the deputies themselves say that it is about her. and although the ukrainian orthodox church insists that this church left moscow in may 2022. the adoption of this law is condemned by ta'. actions of the ukrainian authorities with persecutions, and mo

orthodox church, as it has always been ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate. perhaps maksym rozumny, political expert, doctor of political sciences, will answer these and other questions. mr. maxim, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening. well, zelenskyi calls the law that was adopted today in the verkhovna rada the law on spiritual independence. what... after the adoption of this law will change in ukraine, and does this mean that the adoption of this law puts an end to the existence of the roc branch in ukraine, and well, 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 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 questions of legal entities, that is, these communities, questions of ownership, but about which... which way these religious organizations, these priests,

that is , in fact, it is about the activities of the ukrainian of the orthodox church, which until may 2002, 2022, i'm sorry, was called the church of the moscow patriarchate. in particular, the law stipulates that from now on the state will have the right to conduct a religious examination of the activities of such organizations. to check whether they are not subject to, are not influenced by russia, if such violations are detected, the state will be able to stop their activities through the court. 265 people's deputies supported the law in the second, i.e., final reading, but four more people's elected representatives declared that they also voted for, but their cards did not work at the time of voting. the document will enter into force in a month, and religious organizations suspected of singing workers with the russian orthodox church will have another nine months to sever spiritual ties with moscow, says the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, ruslan stefanchuk. a number of politicians and public figures in ukraine welcomed the adoption of this law, calling it a historic e

, 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

, this is the ukrainian orthodox church the orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, and what 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, about trying to get a second tomos, for example, parallel to this appeared another, but already such a very persistent appeal of metropolitan epiphanius of kyiv, head. of the orthodox church in ukraine to metropolitan onufry with a

, the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, although in may 22- th year at itshurch or train. nization decided on the fact that they are a separate, separate church from the russian orthodox church, they have no relation to the russian orthodox church, they... do not, but the fact remains that the priests of this church worked and apparently some of them continue to work together with the russians, because the fact that more than 100 priests in the ocp initiated criminal cases during the full-scale invasion, this is still a serious figure and indicates that russia... was and remains the country that influences the ukrainian orthodox church, ooc, mp , in that number through the russian orthodox church, but 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, org

solomia, will the russian orthodox church cease its activities in ukraine, activity in the russian orthodox church in ukraine will cease after the adoption of the law. i will ask you in the format of a blitz survey, what do you think about this, will this law stop the activities of the branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine? ms. solomi? i think that volodymyr would probably be more correct, he is from the profile committee, but also my answer to blitz, unfortunately, no, this is only the beginning, and it can only be used for those parishes or parishes that are very directly related to documents . more precisely, directly to the russian synod. thank you, ms. solomi. mr. volodymyr. i have a slightly different answer. the russian orthodox church will cease its activities because a separate article of the law clearly prohibits the activities of the russian orthodox church of ukraine. as for other organizations that are affiliated with it, the so-called uocmp, then for that it will be necessary to really conduct an examination, for that a court decision will be needed, all the necessa

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 will take various different paths these people go, i think someone will join the ukrainian orthodox church churches in ukraine, someone, so to speak, will switch to some illegal status, someone will look for forms of self-organization, well, for example, its patriarch filaret broke with the orthodox church in ukraine and created their religious organization, that is, there will be some other religious organizations that will insist on their understanding of canonicity there, something else, it will be a long and obviously difficult process, but the main thing is that we will no longer have a church that will be subordinate to moscow, but what will be the reaction to 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, and all these parishes, they are long, have controlled all these structures for a long time, and probably still partially control, both for putin and for russians in general, the existence of the russian orthodox church, thi

we are coming back, we are in touch with george kovalenko, a priest of the orthodox church of ukraine, rector of the open orthodox university of saint sophia, the wisdom of god. we welcome you to our air. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, congratulations, we understand what we will talk about today, here we have fresh information from the humanitarian and information policy committee, unanimously at the meeting today in the morning, they voted for the last amendments of this committee on the religious bill number 8371. everyone agreed, agreed and hope that there is such a concept that... at the meeting of the verkhovna rada, when it starts, they will actually start with this issue. your predictions? well, i hope that in the end the law, which was initiated by the president, then the national security council, then passed the first reading, then caused a lot of halo halo, where both supporters and opponents put more hopes on it than. he will really bring will eventually be voted on in the second reading and enter into force. is a statement by epiphanius regarding the unification o

of ukraine, but not even so much about the orthodox church of ukraine as about the russian orthodox church the orthodox church in ukraine and... its fate, the future. now advertising. thinking about a new mattress, but here's what's stopping you. have you ever thought about what you sleep on? old mattresses accumulate not only dust, but also moisture that a person releases during sleep. a new mattress topper or bed linen can only improve the mattress aesthetically. choose a camel orthopedic mattress and your sleep. will be noticeably better, take advantage of the super offer for half price, call now and order a camel orthopedic mattress, instead of the full price of the mattress pay only half. due to the fact that our production is located in ukraine, we will be able to quickly manufacture a mattress and deliver it directly to you. we perfectly combine innovative technologies and modern ecological materials. dial the number you see at the bottom of the screen and... our consultants will help you choose the size for your bed. together with the mattress, you will receive a 5-year warr

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 clear, but for me... in this situation , it is not clear how for 10 years in ukraine , 10 years of war there is a church led by a member of the holy synod of the russian orthodox church onuphrius, because the uoc is trying to convince everyone that they have nothing to do with the russian orthodox church and say, we held our own synod, we have autonomy and so on, but it turns out that onuphrius was and still is.. a member of the politburo of the russian orthodox church? well, in addition to the fact that he is a member of the politburo of the russian orthodox church, as they said, he is a member of the synod, here you can say, and in fact, in the opc they often say that we do not influence what moscow does, they enrolled us there, but at the same time we did not hear from them positions on annexation, in them dioceses from the occupied territories, which the russian orthodox church directly subordinated to itself. the destruction of the laurels , which wa

originators, for an example from the russian federation, which has always supported the russian orthodox churchre, how does this influence manifest itself, how can it be preserved, in what way? well, it is difficult for me to answer this question, but russia, the russian church, since 1943, when it was a diplomatic structure created by stalin in order to appear on the international stage, precisely with the vatican, and went hand in hand with... . we know very well what kind of relations nikodym rotov had with the vatican, a well-known figure who is the teacher of the current patriarch of russia, that is, what his laid hands on him and in fact gave him career growth, that is , there was always an orientation towards the vatican, and the vatican always, as i understand it, looked at the stronger one, and russia, after all, this is enough for today... a consolidated and strong political player with whom the vatican , as a state, not only as a religious church, a center, but as a state, it is worth, i understand, to maintain some connections, and i do, well, in my opinion, they do not want to be i

we will discuss the actual ban on the canonical orthodox church in ukraine, the verkhovna rada has made the corresponding decision. we will discuss this topic with the rector of the church of the life-giving trinity on sparrow hills , archpriest andrei novikov. he is in touch with the studio, father andrei. hello. hello. tell me, how do you rate this? solution? the orthodox church, although in their russophobia, it would probably be difficult for anyone to surpass them, but as we see, now the nazis in ukraine are superior to their teachers, and of course, the consequences will be the most severe, millions of believers, according to this law, must be left without the true orthodox church, without its sacraments, without prayers, and the church in this situation, with... full implementation of this law, will have to go, there is such a church term, into the catacombs, yes, in the image of the first christians of the roman era, into an underground existence, already now the security agencies of ukraine have announced that investigative actions are being carried out against 100 clergymen of

in fact, the head of the orthodox church in poland is an elderly man, his history goes back to the times of communism. he has not yet decided to fully recognize the canonicality and conformity of the ocu to church law. this does not change the fact that this church. fully recognized because others have done it church, and that is enough. i just wanted to clarify the situation with the polish orthodox church. most representatives of polish orthodoxy are clearly patriotic, active citizens who are proud of their autocephaly. some things are simply political decisions, groups of people in leadership positions. you put me in an awkward position, because i actually want to congratulate the autocephalous church, i am glad that the polish orthodox church is independent, despite the fact that on the other hand on the other hand, i negatively evaluate the policy of this bishop, but his situation is special, because it is simply the policy of today's group of orthodox bishops in a row with archbishop sava, with which i do not agree, but i am glad that poland has had a separate for 100 years. into t

church. i am glad that poland is orthodox the church is independent, despite the fact that on the other hand egatively evaluate the politics of this bishop, but his situation. special because this is just the policy of today's group of orthodox bishops led by archbishop sava, with which i do not agree, but i am glad that poland has had a separate orthodox church for 100 years, and it is also part of our independence that in 100 years our orthodox the church did not obey any cyril or other kagibist in a cassock, or some other kagybishche in a cassock, the truth and i will tell you, but the terrace, for example, in warsaw i go to... in warsaw, i go to the polish orthodox church and it is important for me that i can confess in ukrainian. priests always try to answer in ukrainian, or at least support me in confession in a foreign language. and at christmas in the warsaw orthodox church, the whole church sings ukrainian carols, and this is the greatest support. but part of our community, so it is even more unfortunate that the authorities of this church, which itself is independent, were not in th

and the ukrainian orthodox church become independent from the russian orthodox church, becausee are all waiting for a decision, and president zelenskyi has already announced that there will be spiritual independence of ukraine from russia, we hope that it will be so, that is why we are asking. you: can the uoc become independent from the russian orthodox church? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have a different opinion, please write it in the comments, if you are watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800 211 3801. if you think that the ukrainian orthodox church can become independent from the russian orthodox church, no, 0800 211 382. all calls to these numbers are free, vote. at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote. today we have a traditional journalism club and i would like to introduce my colleagues, this is olga len, a political viewer, espresso presenter, author and host of the war information chronicles program. olga, hello. congratulations. and bohdan butkevich, journalist, radio host, author an

termination of the activities of a religious organization that has a connection with the russian orthodox churchnd the aggressor country, this norm enters into force 9 months after its publication. the committee emphasizes that the state does not restrict freedom of religion, but excludes any ties with russia and its churches. these are the cases. dear friends, i remind you that taras antushevskyi, religious scholar, historian, director is visiting us of the religious and information service of ukraine risu, and today we are talking about whether the people's elected representatives will finally be able to vote for the banning of the russian orthodox church, by the way, one of our boxers who loves the uoc mp has already posted a story, and we can show the scrim of this stories, he warns about the consequences, he says that... lomachenko, somehow not quite in ukrainian, so to speak, although it is written in english letters, but in russian, mr. taras, i finally have a word with you, and what consequences do you think he warns about everyone deputies, because he posted lumachenko in the photo of t

volodymyr, in the documents of the russian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church, there arests 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

for the prohibition of the activities of religious organizations associated with the russian orthodox church, and quote, they are waiting for kiev to comply freedom of religion. after all the horrible footage i've seen, the question arises: what kind of freedom are we talking about? they just banned the church. by the way, article 9 of the european convention on human rights states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, but intimidation, beatings, pogroms and other acts of schismatics not only go unpunished, they are even encouraged. the us state department, which has long been lobbying for its own interests in terms of, again, the subordination of all orthodox parishes in europe under the amaphor of constantinople, the ecumenical, and then later i understand that somehow, perhaps even by unification with the vatican, that is, in essence , they are simply trying to destroy the entire world orthodoxy, in the best case, for the authorities, it will simply come to some, let's say, hidden or i don't know, we will be there in the form of uh non-acceptance of t

that is why we ask you, can the ukrainian orthodox church become independent from the russian orthodox church? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have a different opinion, please write it in the comments, if you are watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800 211381 if you think that the uoc can to become independent from the russian orthodox church. no, 0800 211 382. all calls to these numbers are free, vote. at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote. today we have a traditional journalism club and i want to introduce my colleagues. this is olga len, political viewer, host of espresso, author and host of the war information chronicles program. olga, hello. congratulations. and bohdan butkevich, journalist, radio host, author and host of two youtube channels, centronet and show-bisik. bohdan, i congratulate you, thank you for joining the conversation. we have some problems with communication. i i hope that we will have contact with bohdan. please check this for the sound engineers, there might be some line issues. we

, because the russian orthodox church wants to annex not only our territory, but also our history our heritage, including the orthodox. heritage and simply appropriate volodymyr the great, and what happened over the last few centuries in general in ukraine and in general from the very beginning of the ukrainian state, well , let's actually monitor the reactions of the russians, because we have to do our own thing, but we have to understand , that this network, which currently exists in ukraine, is a huge orthodox network, it has been around for a long time. allowed and apparently allows russia to restrain or hold and not give to us this spiritual independence that we aspire to... that volodymyr zelenskyi spoke about, another topic, my dear colleagues, is the topic of events in kurshchyna, we see how events are developing there and watch how russian cities come under control and and villages under the control of the ukrainian army, already more than 90 settlements are controlled by the ukrainian army and more than 1,200 km are controlled by the armed forces, but in this situation o

of ukrainian orthodox church. now the latter, the 1st one was created and supported by the government and its suppose to the left to the a legit influence of moscow over ukrainian church goers and believers. now what followed after that, and before that as well actually could easily be described as the religious persecution in the country of ukraine. now since the establishment of the news gives medicare church and government reigns on the ukrainian or coast church became a regular as well as against the clerics and regular church callers. i mean, it became of violence as well as people were being kicked out of monasteries and the church is now authorities of ukraine. uh, following the decision uh, on a new credit creation of the new church. they even receive property from the traditional church and gave it to the new one that the government had established now. oh this, of course coleman agents, whether you crate in parliament passing a law on on tuesday that would allow to ban ukraine and orthodox church. the ca

first of all, the ukrainian orthodox church on the canonical or from the orthodox church is that was the largest faith based organization in the country. well, it's not the largest, it's probably the most dominant one according to a $0.21, as i believe there are more than $20000000.00 ukranian orthodox such church show worshippers. and of course this stage began playing well and very dangerous. a game of religious divisions the since the 2019 if that's the year of creation of excuse matic, orthodox church of ukraine instead of the ukrainian orthodox church. now the latter, the 1st one was created and is supported by the government and it's supposed to be less than a v, a legit influence of most coal over ukrainian church goers and believers. now what followed after that and before that as well actually could easily be described as the religious persecution in the country of ukraine. now since the establishment of the news gives matic, a church of government reigns on the ukrainian or cups. church became a regular as well as against the clerics and regular church course. i mean, it be

down on fall or as a be a training on orthodox church that was recently bad. and then the country authorities have now sealed off a shrine, used by ethnic romanians in western ukraine. local church officials have slammed the move. are you creating us or it is ben? besides, to remain in speaking parish in ukraine and now romanians at preventing death over this from building the sole cold, spiritual freedom, they tell all the locks and sealed the shrine of the club and the metropolitans in the cemetery. up turn of sea city, we'll see how the key of authorities deliberately restricting the rights and disadvantage. in the romanian speaking, my no routine ukraine 1st vessel resist refused to register the carrier for the remaining orthodox church. now the head start at the sewer, romanian, speaking parishes. what next, the persian is will most likely appeal to the romanian president. first of all, the ukrainian orthodox church on the canonical or from the orthodox church is that was the largest faith based organization in the country. well, if not one of the largest,

ukrainian society and finally ban the russian orthodox church in ukraine, in particular its activities just one movie. we made another film about how the russian church struggled with what happened with the adoption of the bill in the second reading and in general, in order for it to become a law, which only they did not do, but we still won. so, as of now, we have a powerful octopus, in the center of which is vadym novinsky, the moscow patriarchate, onuphrius, next to him is a high-class international lawyer. robert amsterdam and trumpist propaganda star takar carson, as well as influential lobbyist william burwhite. they spread disinformation and try to influence us senators and congressmen, as well as people's deputies of ukraine. the ultimate goal is to preserve the structures of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. why so? the moscow patriarchate panicked and hired a whole lobby network in the usa. because we, people's deputies, did everything very correctly. in the committee on humanitarian information policy, representatives of various... factions put aside their political di

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 left there from the same root or from the same church there, well, of course, this is the basis that he tried to pump up. during the last 24 years of her stay in power, she testifies that this process will obviously not be so easy on the part of russia, and it is obviously a painful enough process for putin himself, who lives in some of his illusions and compiles 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 to the russian orthodox church, 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 in some parishes, can they rename some, well, create some church, name it there, relatively speaking ... there is a ukraini

in a number of regional centers, the churches of the russian orthodox church, under the pressure of thety , 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 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 church. this list was cleaned as much as possible from those who are not in the pcp, only those who are noted in one way or another in the to your name, right? and if there is, for example, i know such cases when the russian church, and the land, simply and the building itself, are registered simply for natural persons. here is an example of an infographic: in cherkassy, ​​yes, 96% is communal property, whether in sums, or on... we can see how much , in fact, even in chernivtsi oblast there are a

the russian of the orthodox church will stick out in this church, although this church says that it is a ukrainian orthodox church and has no relation to the moscow church, should the state in the conditions of war work harder with those who are connected to the aggressor state, kateryna realia. indeed, such as you mentioned to sergey, about the great russian-ukrainian war and the threats are considerable, in such a situation it is obvious that the state can act radically, more quickly, if it feels that there is a threat, this is an interesting moment, i spoke in the interview , talked on the air with nikita poturaev, who is the chairman of the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy, and we spoke with him just after the adoption of this draft law, well, there is already a lot... there is already a lot of law, there were a lot of such difficult situations, servants of the people, for example , they tried to convince some of their deputies to still support this draft law, mr. nikita said that he personally had conversations with representatives of the hearings

at all until 1945, 1946, there, there was a romanian orthodox church, and there was a greek catholicand this is just nonsense, yes, they are so rooted there, and the population is just there, well, i don’t know, they are almost ready to fight with pitchforks, for what, they themselves don’t understand, because when it started... with them speak, they do not understand what they are fighting for, not for some historical things, but for some, well, i don’t know, for some traditions, some brought from outside, chernihiv region, well , you see, that’s all, unfortunately, it is necessary to heal, it is necessary to gradually come to what is, there is a disease, a diseased feeling of certain processes ... , they don't all understand them, and when you start talking to people, you see, they say, come on, these are very high matters, leave our father to us, do everything else that you want there and do, so i think that's all after all, it should be left to theologians and lawyers, i think that we will come, we have a law, yes, it is so peculiar there with postponed for nine months there with

orthodox church and has no relation to the moscow church, should the state in conditions of war harder work with those who are connected to the state, the aggressor, kateryna, the realities are really what you mentioned to sergey, about the great russian-ukrainian war and the threats are considerable, in such a situation it is obvious that the state can to act radically, more promptly, if one feels that there is a threat, this is an interesting moment, i spoke in an interview, i spoke on the air with nikita poturaev, who is the head of the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy, and we spoke with him just after adoption of this draft law, well , there is already a lot of law, there were a lot of such difficult situations, servants of the people, for example, they tried to convince some of their deputies to support this draft law, mr. nikita said that he i personally had conversations with representatives of the hearing with some deputies, who are, for example, parishioners of this church, who have doubts... well, that is, some part was convinced, some part was n

very fundamental thing that this church is in the bosom and under the leadership of the russian orthodox churchready today, on the third day of the war , it is already clear to everyone that the church in ukraine must be united, must be ukrainian, for that we have tomos, for that we have all the possibilities, and the decision on... the ban, the so -called law on the ban, for which, by the way, we, i have always been in favor of it, our deputies have always been in favor of it, and constantly pushed for this decision was made as soon as possible, this is a late decision, because, well, almost the war has been going on for three years, and we still cannot figure out whether we need a structure subordinate to the russian orthodox church, which, by the way... blesses their own people, their army to kill, sanctifies the equipment that goes to kill ukrainians, these are just things that can't even, well, be discussed. the law is urgently needed, in kharkiv, i think, as in the whole country, the ukrainian orthodox church is ready for this law, and we will see how to solve this issue, but we are a chu

is up to 45- there was no 46th year, there was a romanian orthodox church there, and there it the greek catholic church, and this is just nonsense, yes, to what extent they have taken root there and the population is just there, well, i don’t know, they are almost ready to fight with pitchforks, for what, they themselves do not understand, because when you start talking to them, they don't understand what they are fighting for, not for some historical things, but... for some, well, i don't know, for some traditions, some customs brought from outside, ee chernihiv region, well, you see, that's all, unfortunately, er, it is necessary to heal, it is necessary to gradually come to the fact that there is a sick, sick feeling of certain processes, not all of them understand them, and when... you start communicating with people, you see, they say, come on, these are very high matters, leave our father to us, do everything else you want there, so i think that it is still necessary leave the theologian to the lawyers, i think we will come, we have a law, yes, it is so peculiar there wi

, which orthodox church, they should simply unite with the ocu.he stupidity of muscovites, i don’t even want to say bad words, so as not to spoil your monetization on youtube and so that the help does not come to you, but okay, look, the stupidity of muscovites is that they could, for example, take some very dangerous step, well , imagine, and they take, for example, the moscow roc church and give their tomos, it would be absolutely illegitimate, they had no right to give it, but well, just imagine, they take and give tomos their type. or uoc, well, imagine such a step. this would be real, not that it would be dangerous, but well, it would be a situation in which, well, i would say, for some morons there would be some choice, but moscow is so stupid that it does nothing can come up with, except for what she is doing now, therefore, except for delaying time, therefore , i am sure that, of course, no uoc will exist in this form, the one who wants to continue to be a priest, the one if he is fed up with boron and cleaning will go to pc. well, whoever

the ukrainian orthodox church is not the russian orthodox church.liated 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.

now, nevertheless, with reference to the law, it is possible to close parishes of the ukrainian orthodox churchthe only canonical church in ukraine, or force them to transfer to other organizations, the fact is that according to ukrainian legislation, the ukrainian orthodox church, as a centralized organization, does not have a legal entity. and a legal entity is a specific parish, monastery, farmstead, therefore this law makes it possible through the so-called religious examination, the statement of the synod directly states that the decision of such an examination can be, will certainly be falsified, so through the decision of this examination by the court to close this or that parish, this is of course not such a simple task, since 12 thousand parishes of the ukrainian church. remain faithful to the church, remain faithful to christ, remain faithful to their priestly oath, and not only priests, but also laymen, of course, but - they behave quite courageously, many, of course, the pressure is colossal, we know about open criminal cases on far-fetched pretexts, about bishops priests who are in

in your opinion, can the ukrainian orthodox church become independent from the russian orthodox church, how is it possible, how can it become independent of the body, for example, the right hand? well, that is, it's impossible, in principle, it's exactly the same story here, you know? well, by the way, i would like to point out that indeed, if there are people left in the ukrainian orthodox church who, for example, well, let's say that... russians, i don't know why they are still there, frankly speaking , i.e earlier there could be an argument that they didn't understand something there, something else, now actually, well , to be honest, i don't know, well, let's imagine that there are such people, well, yesterday, it seems, epiphanius made a wonderful appeal to the actual head of this structure , to be honest, i just don't understand what else can be said, that is, everyone understands everything perfectly, all the masks have been thrown off a long time ago, and therefore it seems to me that if these people want to ... continue to be in the orthodox church, the ukrainian orthodox chur
