how was the ukrainian orthodox church left?ple do it specifically for the purpose of doing it, and i don’t know who does it, probably a psut because they don’t build their own new frames, they want to seize our frames. let them build their own , please. freedom from speech is guaranteed in the constitution. and now we are simply being oppressed by pamphlets that were found are the same in all churches. these are just provocations and throw it all into the religious questions of the state of odessa. the law of the green state also plays a big role in the war. it's about you, i'm about the church. if you were, if it would be permissible , it would be received by the security authorities, what would some organization do? how did the nkvd do, such as the control there, what kind of activity there , something like specialties, but these documents are not there and are specialized. the most important thing is that there is no why shadow наплетение унизит сейчас сейчас сейчас ето етим делом сейчай ужают сейчают сейчас через ето етим д

because the ukrainian orthodox the church filed a lawsuit in court, it challenged the decision of the ministry of culture to terminate the lease agreement. and here are the representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church saying about april 26, because even before the court's decision, they will not allow representatives of the ministry of culture and representatives of the special commission to start accepting the property and describe it even after that seal. that is, we can say that the government's strategy, which was to start gradually accepting the property from today, when the lease agreement has officially expired, seal it and displace the ukrainian the orthodox church. it seems that it may fail, because we know that near many churches of the laurels and now believers are also gathering by the dozen. they stand at the entrance and are ready to prevent the commission if it comes. we talked with the representatives of the commission and they say that they will try to follow the plan in today there was a description of several buildings, but of course they say that if they are no

in what sense, perhaps, such a desire to destroy the ukrainian church is irrational, that there is nothinge, for ukrainian society and for the ukrainian authorities. in the end , it won't, of course. thank you very much. we are following very closely, following the developments around the kiev-pechersk lavra. eh, i'll remind you. we spoke with the chairman of the synodal department for church relations, and with the media society of the moscow patriarchy by vladimir allega. in addition to the event, which today is in the top of the news, president of belarus alexander lukashenko delivered a message to the people and parliament 4.5 hours of live broadcast and all the acute and important topics in them ukraine the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons, of course, the internal agenda, what is there with the successor - it is too. uh, it was also talked about, well, about everything in more detail anastasia sakhovskaya. stand at the podium of the palace of the republic alexander lukashenko offers to sit down at the negotiating table. immediately, the so-called counteroffensive thrust irrevers

it requires an intensive dialogue between the church and the state than the ukrainian orthodox churchkrainian orthodox church. the question will not succeed. unfortunately, the bc mp has taken such a destructive position, a position of confrontation with the state and does not make any concessions. i think that a compromise could be some kind of temporary peaceful coexistence of the uoc and the ptu in the lower lavra . or maybe it is worth handing over the upper lavra for of the orthodox church of ukraine, which really appealed to give premises where monks can live, but at the moment the ministry of culture has not responded to this appeal and we probably have to wait until all these court processes are completed, because the refusal to satisfy the demands of the lawsuit is only the beginning, but a full-fledged court hearing will begin only on april 26, and until april 26, by and large, representatives of the uoc-mp can stay in the lavra. this is how we saw today that metropolitan pavlo is still there and says that he is not going to leave anywhere, even after their stay it is illega

is not prohibited because there is no difference between the creeds of the orthodox church of ukraine and the ukrainianhodox church , all the same canons, ceremonies and so on , the same is prohibited, the activity of a church that is completely subordinated to the russian state and the russian special services is prohibited and this was recognized by the verkhovna rada of ukraine, that is, on the connection, also heorhiy kovalenko, and therefore such a question actually became known that a member of the spiritual council of the kyiv-pechersk lavra and the assembly of the most important spiritual figures of the brothers and archimandrites avraami the latvian announced his transfer from the ukrainian orthodox church of ukraine to the autocephalous orthodox church of ukraine, and actually he will perform the duties of the vicar of the kyiv-pechersk lavra as a part of the ptu, so the epiphany decided, and this is a very sea issue more about security, after all, we are talking about people who have been in a specific environment for a long time and may have certain beliefs, we are talking about a country t

he said to leave the walls of the church representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church are not going to meet and have already filed a lawsuit, now they are waiting for a decision, well, since the very morning, my colleague vitaly chervonenko has been working near the lavra, and we will talk with him about everything, vitaly. greetings to you. by eye, about half a thousand of them passed, maybe a little more, everything went very calmly, even surprisingly calmly , because they expected that there might be some provocations, yesterday there were some clashes in other regions, but everything went very well, no opponents of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, they did not come to the police, there were very few, everyone was in an absolutely normal mood, they communicated with each other , of course, people were very unhappy that , as they say, their church was actually being kicked out of the lavra, but no excesses and no problems arose, and they said that they were ready to come and continue and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and beyond because they are calle

after all, there are millions and millions of millions, but the largest church jurisdiction in our country remains the moscow ukrainianhe church of the moscow patriarchate, the orthodox church of ukraine cannot even conditionally compare with it in terms of the number of believers, it cannot fill the monastery in the lavra, this is all true. maybe it will be different in time, but it still needs to be done survive and because what needs to be done i believe that firstly we should ban the russian orthodox church and not upcment the russian orthodox church on our land, secondly we should clearly ensure that the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate is really canonically severed from the moscow orthodox church as it is already a matter of power and the legislator , but she must refuse not only he will try to convince onufry and the second moment the second moment the third moment if she renounces the uoc from the rpc, she simply becomes orthodox a church, but a canonical church, the state recognizes the orthodox church of ukraine on the basis of the tomos that was given to the state and the people and the

we decided to transfer to our ukrainian church in view of the events in view of the war in view of allhe eyes of the connection that the russians are making here. well, we used to go to this church. well, we went like that. then we didn't really agree with what they said here, but we went like that. well, then you people gave up. there is an uprising in the drop - this is when, let's say, in march, father said that bucha was fake, well, all the narratives of russian propaganda, then it was already the last drop in the uprising, that the people had already decided that it couldn't go on like this for a long time. and we decided to start this process, it was a message from the people. on may 28, 2022, the village community made a decision to withdraw their church from the moscow patriarchate, but because of the obstacles created by the former rector, the faithful could not get to the church, and on february 26, in stepantsi, the priest of the ptu, serhiy nikitin, for the first time began the service in the ukrainian language and a prayer was sounded primarily for ukraine and for its defe

our ukrainian churches . of course, we do not consider the moscow patriarchate to be a church, let alone ukrainian. i mean the ukrainian church, they also stood for the declaration of an independent state , but when in poland had a unified church and politics, then we had a similar structure , the people's movement of ukraine in poland had solidarity, we had the people's movement of ukraine , but unfortunately, the people's movement of ukraine well, we know that the leader of this organization, vyacheslav chornovol, was simply killed. and the political elites formed around the so-called russian world, which was revived after the collapse, and at the same time, such an oligarchical er-e oligarchic conclave was created, which ultimately led to a negative situation when there was unity in poland er- e churches, the church and the government in ukraine, unfortunately, the church usually played a key role, but the government, unfortunately , was not pro-ukrainian, they pretended to be ukrainians, so ukrainians had

this is a ukrainian church . the laurel belonging to the russian church. the local people stubbornly refuse to persuade for kirill here for a year now as they do not pray, they verbally condemn the war, and in fact these are denials claim activists who want or in pochaev there really was a ukrainian church very pro-ukrainian and the territory can be a center of the russian peace during such a fierce struggle and such a bloody war with russia, during the searches of the security forces last year in november , found a lot of propagandistic literature authored by russian figures in the pochaiv theological seminary, which denies the existence of the ukrainian people and their language. also the very right of ukraine to statehood for this rector of the seminars was punished, which is true. only with a fine do they believe those popes, they go on kissing hands, it turns out that the people who go to the moscow church downstairs are sponsors of the war against us against our state. therefore , now what else has to happen

zelensky refused to meet with representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church. ierarchy of the ukrainian orthodox church came to zelensky's office , headed by the metropolitan delegation. anufry the purpose of the visit is to convey to the leadership of the state the positions of the ukrainian orthodox church. it is known that a representative of zelensky came out to the hierarchs to take an appeal from them, however, the sacred parliamentarians. they refused to hand over the documents to him and insist on a cash meeting with zelensky, they want to discuss the future fate of business states, laurels and violation of the rights of citizens to freedom of confession. in this situation , there is no other option but to try to act according to the montenegrin scenario, when the metropolitan philosopher, but raised the people of montenegro to processions, when the regime, djukanovic also tried ban the uh montenegrin metropolia of the heart of the orthodox church. well, truly thank you will save orthodoxy in the present lands of the tricky tricks of russia only by their

the ukrainian orthodox church did not separate enough from the russian orthodox church the ukrainian ox church and its leaders took the right side, that is, on the side of ukraine, respectively . the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate stands on the side of the enemy. and here it is here's the thing, the head of the church, who is well ukrainian, orthodox to christ. they are trying to assess which side christ is on. madmen. that is , these are people completely without a head. they are generally aware that, as they say to the moscow patriarchate, when the lavra appeared in general , there was no division close. and now look, what do i ever read the bible, what is said in the gospel yes, do not fish correctly. and now look, lo and behold, idiot, and now the ukrainian milyane are ordinary orthodox people, and who from time immemorial their ancestors went to this temples. uh, grandfathers, they used to go in, then grandchildren will go to this orthodox, which they built this church. they built these temples all over ukraine at the expense of the funds at the expense of r

this is a ukrainian church . le stubbornly refuse to recognize the laurel belonging to the russian church. who want or there was a truly ukrainian church in pochaev that is very pro-ukrainian and territories we live with a center of the russian peace during such a fierce struggle and such a bloody war with russia during the search of the security forces in november last year in the pochaev theological seminary they found a lot of propaganda literature authored by russian figures who deny the existence of the ukrainian people, its language , as well as ukraine's right to statehood , the rector of the seminary was punished for this, which is true. only with a fine do they believe those popes and move on kissing hands, it turns out that the people who go to the church in moscow down there are sponsors of the war against us, against our country . therefore, now what else has to happen for that church to be closed here in ukraine, how many more people have to die and for how many years? everything is dragging on here a

ukrainians . unfortunately, the bishop of the church did not offer anything constructive for his church, this led the fact that the very structure of the ukrainian orthodox church is now in in such a difficult state, and we will not avoid the error of generalization and will not say that they are monolithic, it is not monolithic, but they offer something at the bottom, but the episcopate itself is in such a situation. i would say that the fundamentalist defense against the authorities will lead to it's a pity that the whole church will finally be put on the sidelines. thank you, mr. igor. so, ms. oksana, how do you see the consequences of this decision? i can't hear you. there is no sound. ms. ms. oksano, we have no sound. mrs. oksana, take it because there is no sound. and you better tell us then, in principle. now, when the ministry of culture warns against the theft of relics of value from the lavra, you admit that they can take the relics of saints. well, i think that they can do anything, you already saw what they did there when they left from the upper lavra and we know that very often thei

, continue, because, as i have repeatedly said, the ukrainian orthodox church. e ukrainian authorities are uncomfortable with the very fact that it exists. they want to replace it with a schismatic dog whose organization is closely connected with foreign centers influences that are the conductor of the will, the phanar, which nationalism is an experiment in all forms that are so convenient for the ukrainian authorities now, uh, they don’t need two churches, they need uh and instrumental forces that will follow the instructions of the ukrainian authorities of foreign centers of influence and which , of course, it will be different to deny any connection that connects the russian ukrainian folk any spiritual connection. this is what is happening to them now, therefore , all these numerous violent seizures of temples are no longer on the laurels. massacre of priests abductions, anything. vakhtant vladimirovich, we have repeatedly talked with uh, hmm experts and representatives of the church, including talking about what this could lead to. eh, very often a word. uh,

reacts to the factors of religious oppression this time not to see the persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church. the states will not succeed . the persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church by the kiev authorities continues for more than a year, and not two seizures. arson of temples , attacks on clergy, nothing is sacred, and this time they will want to leave. so it will be there, uh, ukrainian ilmur, you even proto-nationalists will break into august and begin to evict monks in advance. it is possible that those who resist will be sent to concentration camps. this is quite possible, and here, under the pretext of resistance to the authorities , and so on and so forth, martial law unties the hands of the zelensky monks , the oldest of the kiev-pechersk lavra, he actually kicks out on the streets of kiev , hiding behind claims that the monks allegedly used the premises of the lavra for other purposes . e. lower laurels, e, feodosia his caves and anthony his caves near distant were not transmitted. it’s been a very long time and on terms without an urgent lease, that is, in this case, uh, the

, the second part of the parishes is the ukrainian riko catholic church, the third is already one, when they all united and the ukrainian autocephalous church and the kiev patriarchate. and even if we look at the map, lviv region, ivano-frankivsk ternopil region is there there are more parishes of the rivers of catholics than their parishes, that is, there are already more of them plus the union itself. it has always pursued an aggressive policy towards our church, the orthodox church in general in this regard. it is interesting how the roman catholic church behaves, because all these years after the creation of the kid, as if avoiding official comments , positively and negatively, dumenko did not respond in any way, they did not responded. well , now we know that there was a meeting with the coordinator. came from the vatican well, in principle, they talked about the world, as officially position in the vatican. e. well, i don't think that they will be the main negotiators with the vatican, because they generally have a master, patriarch bartholomew of constantinople. palace c

the persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church by the kiev authorities continues for more than a yearo seizures. temple burnings attack on the clergy are nothing sacred and this time to leave. so there will be ukrainian riot police there, or maybe even just basoists will break into the urals and begin to forcibly evict monks, not only those who resist, that ant will be sent to concentration camps. this is quite possible, and under the pretext that the settlement to the authorities , and so on and so forth, martial law unties the hands of zelensky, the monks, the oldest of the kiev-pechersk lavra, he actually kicks out on the streets of kiev , hiding behind claims that the premises of the lavra the monks allegedly misused the premises. uh, outer laurels. eh, theodosius of his caves and anthony in the caves of the near distant. it has not been transferred, it has been for a very long time and on a perpetual lease. that is, in this case, uh, the ukrainian authorities still have to prove that uh . uh, in general, it was not in reality. what decision and on the basis of what the ukrainian

the persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church by the kiev authorities continues for more than a yeartwo seizures. arson of temples attack on clergy nothing saint and this time to leave. so there will be ukrainian riot police there, or maybe even just basic specialists will break into the villages and begin to forcibly evict monks , not only those who will resist, that the mulavry will send concentration camps. this is quite possible, and under the pretext of resistance to the authorities , and so on and so forth, martial law unties the hands of the zelensky monks, the oldest of the kiev-pechersk lavra, he actually kicks out on the streets of kiev , hiding behind claims that the monks allegedly used the premises of the lavra for other purposes premises. uh, outer laurels. eh, theodosius to the caves and the antony of his caves, the near distant. they have not been transferred for a very long time and on terms without an urgent lease. that is, in this case, uh, the ukrainian authorities still have to prove that uh. in general, it was not in reality. it is easy to guess what decision an

it will return to, and you and ours, who cannot say such a word , the ukrainian state or the ukrainian churchdresses the president of ukraine, he never says the ukrainian state. he says our state and says our church, just as the patriarch says that our church was here, it built everything. but what kind of church and city is this? the moscow patriarchate has been there forever for a maximum of 300 years, yes. and before that, for how many years? it was a lavra under the jurisdiction of st. george of constantine. unfortunately, time has run out . we have news soon, and george kovalenko , a priest of the orthodox church of ukraine, rector of the open orthodox university of st. sophia of wisdom. i am a very group, interesting interview . and now about the most important news exactly for this hour, and melnyk will tell us about it in real life, please say good evening vasylov, i will tell you about the most important thing together with the news team, stay with us

church schism , obviously, in order to save face. he is somewhat days ago recognized the actions of kiev in relation to the canonical ukrainian orthodoxote as discriminatory, expressing concern about sbu searches in monasteries and polygraph tests of priests. that is, as if they condemned the actions of kiev. but no more than that , they repeatedly spoke about the silence of international, and human rights organizations, political organizations there. after all, it was a reaction after the appeal of his holiness patriarch kirill, but there was a reaction to the office of the high commissioner for human rights, yes, which, so to speak, caused criticism of the ukrainian authorities, uh, but there was a minimal reaction in kiev to the report. the un reacted sharply oleg nikolenko from the independent foreign ministry called for refraining from political assessments of kiev's actions against the canonical ukrainian orthodox church. by and large, in ukraine there is a semblance of a religious war of a war against one church that does not fit into the political landscape of the elected incumbent authorities. how else? explain zelensky's com

orthodox church in ivano-frankivsk, as reported by the ukrainian orthodox church, the raidersrough the side doors, opened the central ones and pushed the parishioners out from the police stairs. at the same time, she did not interfere, but in the chernivtsi bukovinian diocese. reported that the clergy of the temple does not get in touch with the clergy of the ivan frankov diocese. also lost will confirm whether they are alive or not. according to the diocese, the clergy are being poisoned with tear gas with the support of the national police of ukraine. in the meantime, the vatican says that the authorities should not interfere in the life of religious institutions. this is also a reaction to what is happening with the ukrainian orthodox church. representatives of nine bulgarian monasteries expressed support for the kiev-pechersk monastic brethren in his address. they recalled that more than 200 monks and novices live in the kiev-pechersk lavra. they cannot be deprived of the abode of repentance and prayer. synod of the belarusian orthodox church. he also called on the world c

patriarchate, because they also stole the name, in fact, they put it in the wall called the ukrainian orthodox churchix, they say, that is why we are not representatives of the moscow patriarchate there to the patriarchy, but that's not true, they are in the ukrainian choice party, uh, and then this, there was also no prefix that this is putin's russian party in ukraine, but we all understood that, so the question is what to do. i am convinced that uh, this the entire top should be introduced into the legal field, checked for cooperation with the russian federation, i am convinced that such cooperation will in many cases, this very structure is not religious. and what kind of agency simply needs to be banned, all the property of which it should be transferred to local communities communities have to decide which of the ukrainian churches or denominations to hand over, what to do with the huge number of deceived people who, er , were parishioners of this church, well, talking to him, you need to understand that there is only one god and there are ukrainians churches if a person wants to pray to god, h

this impasse because at one time the uoc mp and the russian orthodox church, so to speak , denied the right to priests of the same ukrainianthe moscow patriarchate to co-serve with representatives of the kyiv church well, i support the basic number in that really the bishop must have a good testimony from external e-e and this is an important moment because he personifies e-e represents christ during the divine service and his image must be flawless - this first of all, and secondly, we have a set of problems before us, the church for some reason has not yet understood what state you are in, what responsibility it bears to the ukrainian people, and this means that it is a set of problems . well, first of all, the church must admit its mistakes and must confess and repent, there must be something to repent of well, first of all, because they were the leaders of the russian world - this is a fact and which is no longer a secret for anyone, secondly, it is again to pay attention to the fact that the number of e-e collaborators, the number of people who betrayed ukraine, including er. working for the occupier, we see directly

according to statistics, more than half of the parishes of our church are the ukrainian orthodox churchart of the parishes are the ukrainian-riko, the catholic church, the third is already the cause of the current one, when they united the entire ukrainian autocephalous church and the kiev patriarchate. and even if we look at the map, lviv region, ivano-frankivsk region ternopil there are more parishes of the rivers of catholics than their parishes, that is, there are already more of them plus the union itself. everything started an aggressive policy on in relation to our church, the orthodox church in general in this regard, it is interesting how the roman catholic church behaves, because all these years after the creation of the kid, it seemed to eschew official comments , not positive, negative dumenko did not respond in any way, they did not respond in any way. well , now we know that there was a meeting with the coordinator. came from the vatican well, in principle, they talked about the world, as the official position in the vatican. e. well, i don't think they will be the main ne

forever become part of the history of anti-church persecution, which today, but are committed in ukraine in response to this anti-christian gesture of the monks, ukrainian the orthodox church to leave the kiev-pechersk lavra refused called in ukrainian rhetoric. ultimatum the ukrainian orthodox church cannot evict the monastery, because there is no legal justification for this. it is not clear on the basis. why should we pass on those material values, and the cultural heritage that was revived and preserved by the monks. on what basis to transfer it to people who have nothing to do with it. the destruction of the lavra is not even a goal, but rather a means the task of the kiev regime is to get rid of the ukrainian orthodox church, and lavra is its heart. we remember from history that even during the nazi occupation of the parish of the canonical orthodox church. the nazis did not close the power zelensky does not want to admit to the mistakes of lying to his voters. they preferred to lead the people in battle without receiving unlimited nato finances and weapons, the current government does not hide that it is going to fight for a long time and the blo

stood up for the ukrainian orthodox churchross on the rhetoric of the ukrainian orthodox church that does not take into account any relationship with moscow. and here is such a question in your opinion, if the uoc mp gets rid of these lowly toxic hierarchs of its own, it can get a second wind like you. well, i do not exclude ukraine, a secular state, we have all religious organizations are equal before the law. well, if they carry out their activities within the limits of the current legislation. well, why not? i am not at all a supporter of having some kind of state church like the rpc in russia. everything in ukraine, where in ukraine, the church has always been an institution of civil society, with the exception of of a short period when in the russian empire we had priests who were officials , by the way, who created the synod in the russian empire? the organization professed various points with the rest it is guaranteed by the constitution of ukraine words don't throw out i want to literally quote part of the statement of

used to how they felt at home, but what can you do, you have to go, because there should be a ukrainian church in ukraine and the ukrainian language at services, and andriy smirnov , a religious scholar, will join us, he will help us understand all these points because in our emotions and how is everything right there, doctor of historical sciences p. andriy, well, can we say that the moscow popes left the kiev lavra, the kyiv-pechersk lavra, and this is an excavation event there for 300 or so years . congratulations unfortunately, for now that the representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church in unity with the moscow patriarchate have not yet remained and have not left their attention, but there is indeed a decision on the early termination of the contract of permanent free use of the lower lavra of the ukrainian orthodox church of moscow patriarchate and after march 29, the stay of monks on the territory of the lavra will simply be illegal and illegal, that is, it is necessary to distinguish and remember that on the territory of the lower lavra there are three institutions of the ukrainia

principle, they do not believe in it too much , the security service conducted searches in the churches of the ukrainianhodox church throughout the fall, imposed sanctions on its leaders, and volodymyr zelensky even in his address in the evening supported what the government is doing with the kyiv -pechersk lavra, we cannot allow the terrorist state to have any opportunity to manipulate the spirituality of our people, to destroy ukrainian shrines, our lavras or to steal any valuables from them , the authorities have serious intentions and they expect that after a certain time the influence of the russian orthodox church on ukraine, on the main shrines in particular and on the lavra, it can be nullified, but how it will end will become clearer after march 29 and the american film academy distributed its in particular, the oscar award was won by the documentary film navalny about the russian opposition leader oleksiy navalny, in the same category of documentary full-length films there was also a ukrainian film a house of rocks about children from a shelter in donbas, in general , the war of russia against

according to human rights, this is a quote about discriminatory measures against the ukrainian orthodox churchled to the ukrainian authorities to grant the accused priest the right to a fair trial. the russian aerospace forces shot down a ukrainian helicopter in the dpr russian air defense systems intercepted seven missiles from khaimovites and 17 drones in a day , the ministry of defense reported this in the donetsk direction , according to the defense department destroyed more than 200 ukrainian soldiers. in addition, during the day our army hit 84 ukrainian artillery units in a total of 120,128 districts. on july 1, the construction of a storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus will be completed and russian scanners will be placed there. what vladimir putin said the day before in an interview with the media emphasized this will happen in the very near future such a step was taken at the request of minsk e, but the transfer of control, he is armament of speech, of course, is out of the question more varvara nevskaya system is capable and with surgical accurac

this religion, the country's largest denomination , is the ukrainian orthodox church, abbreviated as c, it is the first in the country. by the number of parishes of clergy and monasteries , it unites millions of parishioners in ukraine . the ukrainian orthodox church is self-governing church with the rights of broad economy as part of the russian orthodox church, which became the reason for the systematic persecution and attacks on the ukrainian orthodox church, starting from the nineties of the last century , ukrainian orthodox churches were regularly seized in ukraine. local authorities in various regions of the country will tolerate such a seizure of churches and take away at their level a ban on the activities of parishes of the ukrainian orthodox church. and now it has come to the expulsion of the ministers and monks of oops from my shrines of russian and world orthodoxy of the monastery with almost a thousand-year history of the kiev-pechersk lavra, on march 10 this year, the state organization of the national reserve of kiev-pechersk. lavra, subordinate to the ministry of cultu

ukrainian war and important events within our country. yatskiv and i will begin with an overview of the most important events of today. in the church of the ascension of christ on the lower territory of the kyiv-pechers lavra, the last service of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate was held . the church service was led by the archimandrite of the lavra, metropolitan pavlo lebed. there were many ukrainian and foreign journalists on the territory of the lavra, no riots were recorded. well , the vicars of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, metropolitan pavlo, said that he and the clergy of the uoc mp have the right to stay and does not plan to leave the lavra until the end of the legal proceedings with the kyiv-pechersk lavra on tuesday. a letter arrived stating that on the 30th the monastery submitted one agapitus, the transfer of the lavra to the state will begin, the law is on our side, we will remain in the lavra until the end of the legal proceedings in we have a long-term contract that cannot be terminated during wartime. we were offered a compromise . blessed onuphrius, the seminary, and i said that they are leaving

supporters the schismatic orthodox church of ukraine seized the last temple of the canonical ukrainianorthodox church in ivano-frankivsk, as reported in the opc , the raiders entered through the side doors, opened the central ones and pushed the parishioners down the stairs , the police. however, she did not interfere. in chernihiv bukovinian diocese. in turn, they reported that the clergy of the temple did not get in touch with the clergy of the ivan frankov diocese. lost will confirm. are they alive, uh, we have no opportunity, the message of the diocese says, and in the telegram channel here is another there is. uh, a video where you can watch how it all happened according to the diocese, the clergy are being poisoned with tear gas with the support of the national police of ukraine but in the vatican, in the meantime, they say that the authorities should not interfere in the life of religious institutions. this is also a reaction to what is happening with the ukrainian orthodox church, the world religious community cannot stand aside. representatives of nine bulgarian monasteries ex

understand what the situation in ukraine is about and the persecution of the canonical orthodox ukrainian church is the very test. what do you expect, how will our relations with the catholics pass the test, but in fact in this phrase, but the key idea is that they still more or less pass this test, because there are huge challenges that we face today how can never be before? and this is obvious to everyone, because there is a huge pressure on the roman catholic church in general on christians living in the western world for various reasons pressure that has the goal of uh, to undermine our relationship with them, these contacts are important for building such an alliance of the worldwide christian alliance this is well understood by those who are trying to prevent this, because there are or christians together, if they cooperate, they are strong and then it is not so easy to promote the most liberal agenda, which today is moving forward in all societies and hmm to achieve the goals that are set for those who just want to tear us away from the roots of our traditional in this sense with the cath

you know, i think that the hierarchs of the ukrainian orthodox church wanted to show humility and , accordinglyent on foot to the office of the president of ukraine in order to testify to the persecution, harassment and persecution that the ukrainian authorities have unleashed lately. i think that they acted on their part, since, probably, any priests should act, that is, do everything possible to protect their pasture from persecution from violence against conscience from eviction from cells, if we are talking about the monks of the czech lavra and i think that their conscience may be clear, because they did everything possible and impossible to prevent. this flagrant lawlessness on the part of the ukrainian authorities. well, that lawlessness is certainly in the second well, nevertheless hmm you said that the conscience is clear, certainly so, but nevertheless. uh, after all, uh, the church is in the world, if i'm wrong, correct me. uh, from the point of view of ordinary citizens. this looks strange. how are you think, i think that analysts, many political scientists will qualify this attempt

church, but this is not entirely true. we forget that in just one year, in the last year alone , more than 650 communities have moved to the ukrainianurch and this process continues every day, that is, people are aware of the threat from this agent network and massively all over ukraine are switching to ukrainian confessions and we see the results, we understand why they are so outraged, what should be done with the moscow patriarchate. the entire leadership must be checked, because there we will find 100% a lot of agents, there is a registered svobodov bill, we have one deputy in the parliament, and oksana savchuk registered a bill prohibiting moskovsky patriarchy, they want to consider something for a very long time. i hope that it will be voted after all. i am convinced that ukrainians will still be able to see and understand the threat to themselves of this agent network and where does this entire agent network come in? the priests of the moscow patriarchate will be sitting behind bars. this is another church. many people forget that this moscow patriarchate itself was created by stalin. in essence, this church is an appendage t

patriarch of the serbian orthodox church recognized all religious organizations of the world to condemn the repressions of the kiev regime against the ukrainiandox church. e votes in support. upts sound not only from the balkans and in the us press, the monks of the lavra are called almost agents of the kremlin, the reaction was tracked by evgeny petrukhina. the laurels of thousands of believers of the orthodox church in the west, that in the media that in religious organizations the reaction to the expulsion of clergy from the monastery is not that extensive, but there is serbian patriarch porfiry called oops the only canonical and legitimate orthodox church in ukraine in in the light of these facts, the decision of the current leadership of ukraine to expel metropolitan onufry, the monastic brotherhood and the theological academy from the lavra is nothing but a synonym for horrific state terror against the church, as well as a gross violation of its fundamental rights of religious freedom and freedom of conscience in general to stand up for the heirs of the kiev-pechersk lavra. the greek theological center called the greek theological cente

think there are so many parishioners of the moscow church despite the aggression, despite the fact that russia strikes on the territory of the ukrainian state why are they still so eager to defend the russian orthodox church, a branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, why is there no cause-and-effect relationship according to yours? well , we will not smear everyone, so to speak, i think that a large part of the parishioners of the moscow patriarchy, they still changed their views, well, at least, at least on the institution itself, so to speak, in this branch of the fsb in ukraine, but listen, for 30 years, 30 years . they have been zombifying the population for 30 years. to orthodoxy yes, of course it has its consequences listen, well, you understand, i was a witness, i have a lot of testimonies and everything else , all our leaders played all the games with orthodoxy, especially during the election cycles there, and lord, i remember when in this is how it was. it was nufria’s birthday there, and everyone was standing in line , both with embroidered shirts and without embroidered shirts, ultra patriots and not so ultra patr

they undermine the loyalty of members of the ukrainian orthodox church. sly they don’t save on ideology. it is very important for them to use this situation in order to destroy the ukrainian orthodox church. i don’t know how much the americans will want to pull them away. uh, but i don't think they would want to install it themselves. and what the true believers will do next week will be decided by the rector of the kiev-pechersk lavra metropolitan. paul on the twentieth of march will hold a synod will be determined, how to be the so-called zelensky spiritual independence, as priest vladislav beregovoy wrote, the first being who decided to gain spiritual independence became satan, and it’s true, because zelensky has been paving the way to hell for ukraine for several years. anastasia ivanova and the ukrainian demons the statement of the ministry of defense on the situation with the american drone that crashed into the black sea is exhaustive this is today's kremlin commentary where the notorious drone was confirmed to have crashed due to a sharp maneuver,

a message that the reserve of the kyiv-pechersk lavra is breaking the contract with the ukrainian orthodox churchf the moscow patriarchate and representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate must vacate the entire territory of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, including the lower part of the lavra, by march 29 at the beginning, at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, such an agreement was applied to the upper lavra and the upcmp released the temples of the upper lavra. and now it concerns the lower lavra, what does this all mean? does this mean the end era of the moscow patriarchate in ukraine and what can be the tools of influence used by the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate in response . this is what we will talk about now . andrii smirnov, a religious scholar , doctor of historical sciences, joins andrii. my congratulations , what is today's decision of the ministry of culture, or did i understand correctly ? that the ministry of culture is terminating the lease agreement with the uoc mp and on march 29, after march 29, representatives

is really big, there is a big the request of society's temptation to solve the problem of the ukrainian churchut it in quotation marks, this is the problem of the ukrainian - this is the uoc mp, but in society there is a great demand for it is obvious that the state is between uh, what is called a hammer and the anvil between these two very important factors is the request from society to solve the problem of the ukrainian orthodox church and the legal norms , first of all, freedom of conscience, which ukraine should adhere to, how to get out of this situation, how to swim. with two concepts. this is a very difficult, very difficult problem . i honestly did not envy the state that has this problem, but a way must be found, you can't just go ... just everything take and ban, and on the other hand, you can't ignore the challenges for ukraine's security, because the ukrainian orthodox church is part of the risks that exist before ukraine as a state, before ukrainians as a people, that's a very difficult problem, it was like that because you know everyone will say that indeed, we understand, we ar

i am not saying that ukrainians invest, but i am simply saying that involvement in the church in ukraineer than in russia, and this is of course a paradox in principle to a certain extent, if you judge by the picture, yes, they constantly show there talk about own orthodoxy, but in fact, they are less orthodox than the ukrainians themselves. well, in principle, thank god, we have a vitka state, and well, lately, at least, uh, well, they don't flirt publicly with the churches like they used to. the end of the 90s, and regarding the sudomites well, considering that for 10 years, cyril and his entourage have been accused of a very common practice in their monastic life there and elsewhere, that is, this very sin, as for the orthodox sadovskyi, yes, this also looks very ironic , eh, oleksii what will happen in ukraine if anyway the decision regarding the branch of the russian orthodox church will not be decided at the political level because it is clear that the existence of this church in the form in which it exists is still a political decision, what will happen if , hypothetically, we ima

church. she was and will remain the ukrainian orthodox church and not some kind of dog there, and all the rest they absolutely have none. eh, absolutely no chance in my opinion for things to happen. i'll just tell you one story. that was literally 3 months ago in one. e, a village in the military-frankivsk region. the security service came to the representative of the village council. and well, the temple is waiting for you. let's resolve the issue. well, in general, the trend, what to convey a kiss? he was in this council for 18 years. i found out, every dog ​​in the universe knew. well, the sbu came to help. and what to do, he will make him pass this church. how are you think what kind of reaction was 18 years old man ruled the pskov region with him people stopped saying hello you know in the village and stopped going to this church. therefore, the reaction, maybe people have a completely different one, here, when they say, and what do you advise vera is nearby, they do not need any advice about those who came today at the call of their hearts, they do. well, what they consider necessary tod

he decided to ban the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate. avra, they were also forced to leave the premises. kiev-pechersk lavra, owned by ukraine , terminates the lease agreement with the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate and must give the lavra to the use of the newly created orthodox church of ukraine. laurel. against such a decision. all this belongs to the people of ukraine, is it possible to come and say it is ours and we describe it all and take it away. let the newly created ukrainian orthodox church take a plot in an open field and build a laurel there for its own money. and it will be theirs by right. and let them do whatever they want there. the monks who live on the territory of the lavra also pointed to the door, but if they can pack up their belongings and leave the monastery here, what about the icons and relics in the near and far caves of the lavra, relics are stored more than a hundred orthodox saints leave their new churches. the priests are not going. just like that just like that , to evict the monks in

be used against them. removed from there, but this does not mean the disappearance of the ukrainian orthodox church moscow patriarchate. as such, this anti-religious persecution of religious grounds is pursued by some of the citizens of the ukrainian side, and the consequences can be the most unpredictable. pressure on the uoc intensified last fall, the ukrainian security forces initiated a series of searches in churches , monasteries and diocesan administrations of the opts, then the temples, the uoc began to seize supporters of the psu, which was created in 2018 with the participation of the patriarchate of constantinople from two schismatic church structures , the ukrainian authorities also headed for a ban. the patient against the priests are charged in the state. changes in respect of church hierarchs announced sanctions 13 clergy specified by the president of ukraine deprived of citizenship. well, in december, zelensky ordered to check the existence of legal grounds and compliance with the conditions for the use of property by religious organizations located on the territory of the national k

ukrainian orthodox church. the brothers are forced to leave the monastery, the lease agreement is unilaterally broken by the priests. they are trying to appeal this decision about the parishioners praying for help. who is applying for the premises of the lavra are schismatic. the orthodox church of ukraine, its current primate, 5 years ago, made claims to occupy the lavra. and the other day, with a kiss, the corresponding certificate of autocephaly was addressed to the secular authorities of ukraine, that is , the orthodox church of ukraine received the status of an independent orthodox church of ukraine at the beginning of the nineteenth year from the patriarchate of constantinople . here are the same shots from the tambula, the transfer of the corresponding thomas to the ukrainian side. since then, the seizures of temples have become massive only for last year 250 attacks. volodymyr zelenskyy revoked the citizenship of more than 10 members of the economic church, 50 criminal cases were initiated in search of

e fascist regimes in germany and italy and militaristic japan canonical ukrainian orthodox church, asarly as next week the monks, according to the demand of the kiev authorities. will have to leave the cloister entrance to the monastery. today, the security forces tried to make it as difficult as possible for those who came, the police checked their passports, as it was and how the religious confrontation is unfolding in all of ukraine margarita semenyuk believers of the ukrainian orthodox church today are praying the mood for sunday liturgy in the kiev-pechersk lavra , parishioners are overshadowed by uncertainty from the almighty, parishioners ask for salvation of the lavra brethren, their being expelled from the holy monastery today dear brothers and sisters today dear brothers and sisters on the 26th of the 29th , an agreement between our lavra and the historical museum of the kiev-pechersk lavra ends. i ask your holy prayers so that we ask god to allow us to continue to stay in holy monasteries, so that the brothers who understood the lavra from the ruins and made it as beautiful

explain it to our viewers, that is, the priests of the ukrainian orthodox church of moscow the patriarchatebe chaplains for the ukrainian army, first of all, this is also the desire of the servicemen themselves, because a questionnaire was made for servicemen of a certain denomination, you should assign yourself to which chaplain then you need to be assigned to a unit, if, for example, there are more jewish muslims, then of course there it will be a chaplain according to the survey and there was not even 0.01% there that someone volunteered there for the moscow patriarchate, although they wrote exactly this denomination, but secondly, this is the church of the aggressor country. and here we are we have such a collapse in ukraine today. the moscow patriarchate in ukraine is called the legal ukrainian orthodox church, period. i don’t think they are called the legal-moscow patriarchate, hiding under this name. they are trying to tell me the truth, and they also have a department of the military clergy . -what kind of military unit , even here, you know, the army there, the post office there, o

to return to its shrines the real ukrainian church that is why i am afraid to jinx it i would happen peace i think by the way that the president knows much more than we do about the activities of these people in ukraine, about their plans, about what they were doing when the aggression took place, the enemy was actually near kyiv, so it was very revealing that when they, led by metropolitan onufrim e they came to the street of the bank, right at the intersection of the round university lutheran street and the bank street, the president did not accept them because he did not have this in his plans. there is nothing to talk about, in your opinion, after all, there really is nothing to talk about, they should just carry out the decision to leave. well, let's continue to decide, the president will not interfere here, although they constantly appeal to him and write down appeals, please. in my opinion the president should still support our draft law about banning branches of the rpc in ukraine, they support it, i have the impression that he does not know much about what you say. he
