is a picture that must be shown to moscow and the russians, firstly, how powerful is the ukrainian orthodox churchf the moscow patriarchate , secondly, how do they persecute believers in ukraine? the world solved this problem a long time ago, if some priests, the leadership of this church violates state laws. for this, there are state laws that give the right to punish this leader or a simple worker of the entire church state laws are enough to bring some church that violates the law to justice, and i'm talking about bringing specific individuals to justice, while uh, in the matter of uh, recognizing some religious uh, church of some religious community as a criminal, it can the state should allow only in exceptional situations because people's right to religious freedom remains the main educational right of a person and i don't want to repeat some historical parallels, although i will still do it in my time stalin was i am completely convinced of the correctness of the banning of the greek-catholic e-e church and how it ended. i know that my desire is that the influence of the moscow patriarchate

, so we have already moved and you see the name, what they removed from the office - the ukrainian orthodox churchthe mp, they simply removed the two letters of the mp and now ukrainian the orthodox church and in this way they are simply misleading. well, they do not commemorate patriarch kirill now, why? well, this is understandable, because if you are still patriarch kirill, then it will be just trash on ukrainian territory. well, i will correct you a little, you know. unfortunately, they themselves will never they did not identify themselves as the uoc mp, we called them the uoc mp , and they always said we were the uoc, and you are there. say there, the kp mp is not ours, i wanted one more photo so that the status was clearly written. no, this is not true in any church in any moscow cathedral to the patriarchate, mr. oleksandr, where did you say that in any temple of the moscow patriarchate, on the sign of the temple, you will not see the word moscow patriarchate, you will see the ukrainian orthodox church, and if it is written like that, then it means that it is the moscow patriarchate, you j

for our victory, but one of the churches in ukraine needs to be strengthened - it is the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, and from its side, we see some very ambiguous steps , one of the latest stories, which i was personally very impressed by the fact that the head of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, metropolitan onuphrius, met with russian prisoners of war in the kiev-pechersk lavra . over justice to a certain extent and rather not so much mercy as the understanding of this mercy do you understand any er value er it is one way or another in our consciousness each of us may be revealed differently and er this position ukrainian the orthodox church, which was in unity and is still in unity with the moscow patriarchate. although they claim that certain processes there seem to be breaking down, although we have not seen such real steps, with the exception of the council that took place at the end of may. it is necessary to understand what it is when we talk about the church as a whole, it is necessary to understand that it is not a monolith. that means t

church that it wants to be a ukrainian orthodox churchentive to look for ways to such a dialogue and the orthodox reunification because the orthodox church and the orthodox uoc are canonized, or from the point of view of rites , and everything else, nothing is separated in the separation the only thing that unites this church is that this church received a tomos from the ecumenical patriarch. and this church does not recognize this tomos and considers itself independent, but there are no canonical grounds for this, and i will add and you mean it is a very long way if someone thinks that a dialogue will begin and tomorrow he is in 13:02 end with some kind of peaceful agreement , then this is not true, it may be years or it may be decades, but all the same if they sit at the same table, it is better as they beat each other not at the table. therefore, you must always understand that in general, in church matters, a century is moment and that there is such a situation that it is obvious that if the priesthood of the ukrainian orthodox church

orthodox church. and the number of communities wishing to convert to the ukrainian church has now increased. ere are still existing temples of the moscow patriarchate of the so-called ukrainian orthodox church, which to this day has not broken the spiritual connection with the moscow patriarchate and is collecting signatures and people are almost ready to convert . in every village where there are these communities, but we received a lot of opposition from law enforcement agencies, as well as from many figures of the so-called russian world oil industry andriy brychak we to you thank you for talking about this on our broadcast, in particular andriy brynchak against the priests of the orthodox church of ukraine, the deacon of the okhtyr deaconry. thank you, and i hope that we will all come together with you here and help with our public illumination and support so that there will be no such actions. law enforcement officers when they convince the community not to show a desire to join the ukrainian church, i will remind you that this is exactly the decision of the community that must be gather

orthodox church. and the number of communities willing to join the ukrainian church has increased. the existing temples of the moscow patriarchate of the so -called ukrainian orthodox church, which to this day has not broken the spiritual connection with the moscow patriarchy and collect signatures and people are ready to move almost in every village where there are these communities, but we received a lot of opposition from law enforcement agencies and also from many figures of the so-called andriy brychak of the russian world oil industry we thank you for talking about this on our broadcast, in particular andriy brynchak against the priests of the orthodox church of ukraine, the reverend okhtyr priesthood. there were such actions of law enforcement officers when they convince the community not to show a desire to join the ukrainian church, i remind you that this is precisely the decision of the community that must be met in the village of the city the church is located and by their decision people show a desire to go to the church, this is only their decision, no law enforcement a

today i decided to talk about the processions of the ukrainian orthodox church. of the moscow patriarchate, which is organized on the territory of our state, in particular, we are talking about e-e. here are such a crowd of pilgrims from kamianets-podilskyi, khmelnytskyi region to the city of pochaiv, ternopil region, where pochaivska, one of the shrines of the ukrainian people , is under the management and ownership of the temporary ukrainian orthodox church the lavra, which was generally owned by the greek catholics, was simply squeezed out and given to the uoc mp, so it is still there, and this holy procession is taking place, there are many scandals associated with it, in some settlements people do not they are allowed into their territory because the people there also wear tricolors, these are the only ones with which the occupiers came and brought war to our land. well, these people support yana and profess pro-russian views. they support the aggressor. what is the russian federation? besides, this time they are not noticed er, men with athletic physiques who clearly do not look like

including the war, and it should be stopped. business because there are many parishioners of the ukrainian orthodox church the churches of the moscow patriarchate go to a church in the village and do not even understand that they actually go to the moscow and russian church, that is the russian church, so they use people to manipulate their religious preferences in order to threaten national security. i think this is to say the least, but people they may not understand because it is a very bad process, people may not understand in the village where are they going, but well, in kyiv, the authorities understand exactly what the moscow patriarchate imagines of itself, to whom it directly reports, and is it worth it now to appeal again to the fact that the church should be separate from the state, or is now just the time when more radical decisions are needed ms. yuli no no because yes yes you hear me yes yes uh it threatens national security the use of religious issues for military purposes and destabilization situation, this is a threat to national security, it should be considered from a completely differe

church processes. let us remind you that this week the results of a survey of places appeared that 72% of ukrainians consider themselves orthodox% of the respondents identify themselves with the orthodox church of ukraine and only four are the uoc of the moscow patriarchate. for this, it is important to understand in these figures how many people actually visit the churches and how many of these people who actually visit the churches actually visit the churches of the ukrainian orthodox church, which uoc mp, which in principle is not calls itself the uoc mp, but this is also such a complex story that has been discussed for a long time and we still do not really understand what has happened theologically and legally during these months from this church, of course if theological specialists do not understand it, how is it possible to understand the parishioners when the priests can not tell themselves what happened after the arrest, and nevertheless, statistics are very important for us, especially if we talk about the number of ukrainians who clearly identify it without the orthodox church, what do we have in connection with the

district somewhere both regional councils, which appeal to ukrainian politicians to ban the ukrainian orthodox church so many times. here i am, all my relatives, a mass of millions, should be banned. why am i talking about this, because even when there are hostilities, when there is, when there is a mass of people leaving ukraine, there are internally displaced people, and this problem has not disappeared anywhere. on the contrary, it is aggravated, inter, inter-conference problem, because to ban here is how i present myself. this is especially true for the people of lviv, galych, bandera, or people who go to church, who do not have a church. that's how they, how they see themselves as a ban. you know, it's not a ban. as you say, uh, godly or not b- there are others, but this is a ban on their own kind who live next to you on the same street, as they imagine it and it seems to me that patience is here. exactly this patience of people is sincere believers, this one you know from the bottom. yes, i think it will end soon. it will be scary towards the truth when people are among themselves, and the auth

one that has appeared now is this story, when a column of thousands of believers of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate marched through a bunch of regions to the holy mountains of the assumption pochaiv lavra from khmelnytskyi region through ternopil region volodymyr trush of the ternopil regional state administration said that there are about 5,000 people moving in the colony and they had to catch them a little bit out of bounds, and the mass of the local councils simply did not allow them to pass, and they say that it is allegedly an organized column of people is not identified, the police provide security, and the uoc mp themselves refuse to take responsibility for these believers, although representatives of their church are present in the column, and it is clear that the basis of destabilization is most likely to be used in this case. the structure of the moscow patriarchate, which has not changed in any way for all these six months, and continues to subvert ukraine they also did something here. well, the main thing is that they are basically trying to cause a split with

about very important things regarding the statements of the pope and the godfathers of the ukrainian orthodox churchatriarchate in ukraine on our airwaves in the program worldview yes, from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news, we are watching together . good evening. we are from ukraine. what is known about the counteroffensive in the south and also about the visit of the shop of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant? this is the 187th open day of the russian war on the air. oatmeal ukraine in the studio

why did the authorities allow a crowd of several thousand believers of the ukrainian orthodox churchw patriarchate freely passed the procession from kamianets-podilskyi to pochaev during the ban on mass gatherings and the next question why were there stout men with shoulder pads in that march to pochaev if it was sabotage they came such a distance and no one stopped them well we didn't we know who is there with the shoulder pads, maybe they were agents of the sbu or the ministry of internal affairs or ukrainian intelligence, we don't know during the moscow patriarchate well, how, how? their work, secondly, it is called democracy if we lose democracy during the war, and democracy means that in ukraine today there are and tomorrow there will be questions in proportions, but in our state of war, it does not provide for uh, three times, you are somewhere there, you are not in the head of a person get into this head and you don't know what's going on in this head , and betrayals can happen in this head and so on and so on and so on. the heads of people who are leaving, they are leaving, t

alienate the pope about the situation in the vatican about the behavior during war of the ukrainian orthodox church the moscow patriarchate and also about the role of the russian orthodox church in this war, ihor kozlovsky was asked by my colleague olena renovska we should not push away from we should not push the pope away, because after all, he is the head of a huge community of almost 1.5 billion catholics in the world, mr. kozlovsky . i welcome you to the first channel of the children's public broadcasting, and i want to start with the ambiguous statements of pope francis. russia's invasion of ukraine is one of the most recent statements. this is literally on the independence day of ukraine. the pope called the person who died in russia daria dugin, an innocent victim of this war. how should we understand these statements of the pope ? romansky in various speeches, different messages given by the pope, i hear a gradual change in his vision of what is happening in ukraine , and we see that his consciousness is beginning to accept the terrible truth that russia is the aggressor and that ukraine i

the truth let's say and who understands what is happening here with us , the head of the ukrainian orthodox churcholitan onufriy, and let's say his bishopric, if they understood what was happening, that what was going on was the destruction of ukraine, the ukrainian people, and the ukrainian culture, then surely they would not have destroyed anything in ukraine with these crusades where they pray for some illusory peace between the aggressor and between the victim, between the rapists and those who are raped because of that, you don't need to blame him, i mean the pope of rome, that he does not understand that many in the world doesn't understand, that's why i would advocate for the pope to come to ukraine on a visit so that he could be shown the cities of germany. it's a shame that he won't be able to see mariupol, of which there are actually none left, according to the most modest estimates , about 50,000 people simply killed. and how many more are still missing? it is not known. in addition to this, you see, there is a certain orientation. well, the orientation of the pope is not that he seeks

districts, somewhere both regional councils, who appeal to ukrainian politicians to ban the ukrainian orthodox church. why am i talking about this, because even when there are hostilities, when there is, when there is a mass of people leaving ukraine, there are internally displaced people, and this problem has not disappeared anywhere. on the contrary, it is aggravated, inter- confessional problem, because the prohibition is, as i imagine it. this is especially people from lvov, galychan, bandera, or people who go to a church that is not a church. that's how they, how they see themselves as a ban. you know, it's not a ban. as you say, uh, are they divine or is it not a ban on others there, but this is a ban on their own kind who live next to you on the same street, as they imagine it and it seems to me that patience is here. exactly this patience of people is sincere believers, this one you know from the bottom. yes, i think it will end soon. and it will be scary towards the truth when people themselves among themselves, and the authorities, as you know, well, yes, they accept the appeal, but there i

that we must do everything to support both communities and churches, ukrainian churches, first of all, of course, ukrainian the orthodox church of ukraine and the ukrainian greek-catholic church to restore churches to the russians the czech republic will officially propose to the eu to ban the issuance of visas to citizens of the russian federation foreign minister jan lipavskyi proposed to include this restriction in the new package of sanctions against moscow, he noted that they plan to discuss this issue already at the end of august at an informal meetings of the heads of foreign affairs, the human rights organization amnesty international is left with financial donors, 400 contributors stopped donating to the finnish branch after the scandal with criticizing the armed forces of ukraine this was told by the head of the finnish branch, frank johanson, according to whom the final figures will appear at the beginning of september, this is the biggest loss of the organization that he has seen in his 32-year career. johann son added that the report on the armed forces should have talked about that annasti international c

church was held in kyiv in june 1990. in june 1990, a council of the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church was held in kyiv, until then bannedrch. metropolitan mstislav was elected, although he was elected in absentia. a symbol of the struggle for independence and the legacy of the unr established by the new ukrainian republic, the master in western ukraine triumphantly returned from the underground the greek catholic church in september 1989, the soviet authorities were preparing pompeii to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the occupation of western ukrainian lands by the red army, but their plans were canceled by a demonstration of 300,000 believers of the banned church, this event was broadcast by tv channels of various countries, troops and tanks swore to lviv, but the communists did not they dared to storm, they retreated before the scale of events. a few days after this manifestation, the then head of soviet ukraine, shcherbytsky, resigned. together with him , the era of soviet domination was ending, and i am very i remember well how we gathered in the center on the basement street and when a huge procession moved down

berkutu happened back in the summer of 1995 during the burial of the patriarch of the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox churchthe faithful wanted to bury their patriarch on the territory of sofia, but the authorities categorically opposed, in the end, the grave was chosen just under the closed gate, the clashes on march 9, 2001, the culmination of the ukraine without kuchma movement, were even more large-scale, the protesters tried to prevent the president, whom they considered responsible for the murder of the journalist heorhiy gongadze, to lay flowers at the shevchenko monument, then the violent actions suppressed hundreds of participants were arrested, it is necessary to understand that the maidan of 13-14 years is not the first maidan and it is not the first big public speech, and further into the history, behind all this there are liberators the competition of the entire 20th century, that is, the willingness to defend one's right to life with violence is an important part of the revolutionary process, no matter how rude it sounds after the unsuccessful assault in december 2013. the authorities decided

could not do this whole thing, they took out everything that they could not spare, ukrainian nationalists and orthodox churches everyone in the city burned down this temple on the territory of the hospital; to shoot why, and they shot, they shot , they saw it caught fire and left, he drove around the corner, it went out. well, such, as it were, closer to miracles than a tank , funds for the restoration of this temple and dozens of others destroyed by nationalists in the republic will now be collected what is called by the whole world yevgeny golovanov and andrey tkachenko ntv today from the grad they drove in the kiev district of the city are residential areas. children of donbass for 8 years perceive the sounds of shelling as something. when it causes them to bang, but what is happening in recent days, even for them, is terrible hard. now the next group is going on vacation to russia, schoolchildren were escorted by the children's ombudsman maria lvova belova and our correspondent anton aga, there is an excellent place on the bus that will take them to the sea to russia. now the safest thing in the children's

injured, promising them state aid, and also expressed his condolences to the head of the kopi orthodox church. ukrainianps from corn grain and change their routes to please the european leader, as the new york times columnist was told, instead of yemen, somalia and ethiopia , ships carry food to italy, ireland and england. the cargo ship was born because of the ukrainian black sea met in the italian rabbi there he arrived under the cover of night contrary to the route declared by the united nations according to the plan of the ship was supposed to be bound for british teesport in northern england but anchored in the adriatic aboard 13.000 tons of corn at the pier the ambassador of ukraine to italy and the mayors of the city our agricultural sector had great expectations for this corn. this ship arrived in italy but italy is a country where products are turned into something else thanks to processing, so we can say that the ship that arrived to us will feed the whole world and europe cynically covers its interests with care for the whole world and analysts say, and the starving peoples africa the west re

ukrainians were orthodox . it was the kyiv metropolitanate . the russian orthodox church wanted to annex this kyiv metropolitanate , but the greeks did not agree. incorrectly translated cross from two fingers like boyars to ice cream and and please do everything in the reform so that you look normal then you can take kyiv metropolitan because we will not step on your two fingers in order to give you something and there were famous niko reforms on which, by the way, the russian people separated the russian church. in the middle ages, they were burned in some siberia and sent to this boyarinya ice cream - this is yours, she shows these two fingers when she is taken somewhere to be exiled to the pipes, so that she will die there for her faith, but the ukrainians did not have such adaptations because they are like that, they are from that the kyiv metropolitanate became part of moscow, but the ukrainians remained in their churches and as their priests. by the way, for the most part, a large number of ukrainian acts went to russia, rather than vice versa, and now, as you know,

head of the ukrainian greek catholic church from sviatoslav regarding the situation and maybe it is still worth leaving on the format of a single local church that includes not only the orthodoxof ukraine but also the greek catholic church and the market catholic church in ukraine and still get rid of the vatican if the vatican is more loved by muscovites than ukrainians, but in general i don’t see it from ukraine, well, we also, at one time, they were not too concerned about wars in africa or asia or even in the balkans. so, to demand from everyone that they be maximally involved in helping ukraine. it is probably not worth it, we have the political support of the society of the countries of the european union and nato, we have the political support of the leadership of the nato countries of the european union, let's concentrate our efforts on this, instead of those that putin now throws out or the ultra-rights that he then throws out into the public space and they pronounce that from the equemla . in fact, there are far fewer of them now than probably putin himself expected, because the same schrüder and the same berlusconi are leaving the public sphere, it will happen, so

will continue until all ukrainian prisoners are returned and the collection of evidence, and of course it will also continue until this case reaches the international orthodox churchliterally after you, we were going to talk to iryna yurchenko this is the mother of one of the soldiers of the azov regiment and a famous one who became famous for his with german women, actually from there you remember this er ray of light that falls through the er pierced roof somewhere on one well actually, at azovstal, of course, dmytro kozytskyi, that's how he got in touch. mother says that at least he's alive. and actually he left. asked this is the murder of the azov people, this is peace, he said that this could be a way to hide the simply inhumane treatment of prisoners of war, torture, and actually hide these crimes, violations of the geneva convention, that is why this question is relevant. it is relevant how the defenders of mariupol are treating their own of course, there is no complete picture of what is happening now with all the prisoners of war, not only the azovians in ukraine, because, well, we all understand the conditions in which everyone who was captured is now,
