mistaken , of the moscow patriarchate were transferred to the ptu, that is, the codes for whom for whom the question of the canonicity of the ukrainian orthodox church of the orthodox church of ukraineore the kyiv patriarchate was open, that is, there was no understanding to what extent these are not renegades. as gundyaev said, it closed in 2019. there is canonicality. we can finally move on. nothing is in the way. but those who didn’t move, can we? talk about some kind of their conviction and loyalty to the moscow tradition . rostislav, see the church - this is a social institution. it depends on the opinion of people, after all, the whole church includes not only bishops and priests, but also the faithful and very it is important how the faithful react to what they hear and see, and that is why it is very good that before the new year the constitutional court of ukraine finally unblocked the effect of the law adopted in december 18th that the moscow church should be called the moscow church, and andriy mentioned about the examination that should be done by the relevant body, which recently our victor yelenskyi , i really hope that they will also raise only the documents that were

holiday and on the eve of february 6 in the mikhailovsky golden top monastery a christmas service was held, which was led by the head of the ukrainian orthodox church of the orthodox church of ukraine, the epiphany lord, specially for ukrainian soldiers, for soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine. well, we also have a christmas greeting e from e from serhii naev, commander of the united forces of the armed forces of ukraine , lieutenant general let's listen to him . christmas is one of the greatest christian holidays. the day marks christmas or has marked it before, may the lord's power and protection always be with us, strengthen our faith , warm our hearts and give us confidence and strength to do good deeds, may the christmas spirit come to those who protects ukraine on the battle lines and those who were forced to leave their native home even in gloomy days there should be a place for festive events, we are all one friendly and big family with a big heart, a pure soul and good intentions. i wish us all harmony of good and rather victory glory to ukraine together we will defeat the death of the enemy well, we congratulate our ukrainian soldiers and thank them for the fact that

of the kiev-pechersk lavra on january 7. this was the first historical service of the ukrainian orthodox church of the orthodox church of ukraine we will show live on our television company our channel and now, before the start of this service , we will hear and see dmytro didor, our correspondent in kyiv, who is under the walls of the pechersk lavra, christ dmytro is baptized in the jordan river to anya and today, like on january 7, the orthodox church of ukraine will for the second time hold a service in the a-a walls of the kiev-pechersk lavra . at the entrance to the lavra, the faithful are checked. carefully, by the way , the faithful are checked for their bags with which they came and asked not to bring food, water, dangerous objects or even umbrellas that can cause harm, because they are afraid of provocations from the of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, and today's feast of epiphany completes the cycle of christmas holidays, and thus we can state that this is the second time that the orthodox church of ukraine has held a divine service, and i want to remind you that on december 31, 2022, the ind

the usual eh taboo after those eh procedural actions and after their results eh from security service of ukraine when we saw what was found in the churches of the ukrainian orthodox church of the ukrainian orthodoxhurch of the ukrainian orthodox church, some church ministers have well-founded serious questions that are automatically imposed on the ukrainian orthodox church of the ukrainian orthodox church of ukraine, because the security factor, especially during martial law, is a church that would even potentially may have canonical connections , including with the russian federation, yes, they raise many questions, but regarding the lavra well, let's once again tell the truth to all people, the lavra is not the property of the uoc mp, that is, the moscow patriarchate, it is the property of the state and the lavra has always been the property of the state. and if, so to speak, a decision was made by the appropriate commission after a request and an epiphany about the possibility of holding a service there, that's what this commission, according to the current legislation, made this decision on. and that 's all. absolutely nothing, ukraine acts exclusively within the limits of the current legisl

the head of the orthodox church of ukraine, since the orthodox church of ukraine received the tomos, journalists often asked the head of the orthodox church metropolitan epiphany when the ukrainian independent church will be able to regain its independence lavruchy, is it even real, epiphanius always answered that he believed that the time would come and he would serve in the lavra, perhaps epiphanius really believed that, frankly speaking such an answer looked like well, if not fantastic, then a very distant prospect. and literally a year and a half ago, he had an epiphany in the kyiv studio of radio svoboda. he is asked again whether the ukrainian church will ever be able to regain the ukrainian shrines of the laurel. border, zelensky does not lose hope of negotiating peace with putin, and the positions of the uoc mp in ukraine are, without exaggeration, quite strong, and this is what the epiphany corresponds to. when, after all, will the lavras be our ukrainian lavras belong to the ukrainian church, and if you remember, we very quickly collected the appropriate number of votes on the president's website, which was a corresponding petition, and i think that this issue will be

of the russian orthodox church , metropolitan laser of simferopol and crimea , remains a permanent member of the synod of the ukrainian orthodox church, and in 2019, around this time in january, the orthodox church of ukraine received tomos, do you remember how it was, i remember how it was at that moment in 2019, you could imagine when the ptzu would hold a service in the kyiv-pechersk lavra, but in principle, what distance did you see then, and how did it happen? one could only dream about it, but on the eve of christmas, dreams come true. four years ago, a great historical miracle happened when the orthodox church of ukraine received a tomos on autocephaly, and this year, access to the kiev-pechersk lavra, therefore, war of course speeds up processes, compresses time and we hope that this will also contribute to the unification of ukrainian orthodoxy and the creation of a single commission of the ukrainian orthodox church. thank you, andriy smirnov, a religious expert , was with us. colleagues work for you 24/7 next time our main watch on monday at 9:00 pm good luck everything movies tv sports music

of millions, believers have already noted that the kiev regime has set a course for the elimination of the canonical ukrainian orthodox church in favor of artificially created in the eighteenth year of the schismatic orthodox church of ukraine real raider gangster seizures of the shrine of the ukrainian orthodox church, a threat of physical violence is received against its clergyman. that's literally. and an hour ago they sent me the material. i understand that it should still be rechecked, but that e is already starting to set fire to those, and those churches, but places of religious worship that do not obey the will. uh, that same schismatic orthodox church of ukraine and retain their canonical ministry within the framework of the ukrainian orthodox church, the authorities deliberately decided to celebrate the holiday christmas organized frank provocations in order to survive the canonical church from the kiev-pechersk lavra, for the first time in the main cloister of the monastery, the assumption cathedral, the christmas service was performed by representatives of the orthodox church. here i am , as it were, to the orthodox church of ukraine that this was a planned political step , and of course, the legal registration

out a video from the mukachevo diocese of the ukrainian orthodox church of ukrainian onuphrius and the uoc, we don't have ptsu, the non-orthodox church of ukrainee uoc, yes, but again, the uoc you have, but what is the uoc, what is the uoc if it's not the mp, absolutely but look, russia still managed to consider the issue. the uoc mp in ukraine is allegedly under pressure that russia will consider it, and the representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church. we do not need your protection. but i think that the representatives of russia in the united nations will tell you what i want . the ukrainian orthodox church will say not because of that, not because of that. and why, then tell me why, you understand, this is a diagnosis that is not only spread in the ukrainian orthodox church, it is a very popular diagnosis in our society. we want it to be the way it is. it was like that with many things, of course. it wouldn't be bad if there was a strong army, but the money should be spent on other language projects. well, we have a free country, that's pavlo pavlo pasha. mercedes is also a great person. i would say a new martyr, oh, a martyr for merced

is ready to participate in the implementation of our peace formula, i quote the ukrainian president on the day of the orthodox church of ukraine and not only the orthodox churchkraine and the entire ukrainian people celebrate the anniversary of autocephaly on january 5, 19th. ecumenical patriarch bartholomew signed in istanbul the tomos, which was already received by the delegation of the orthodox church of ukraine on january 6. patriarch bartholomew of ukraine signed on january 5, 2019 in the church of saint george on the territory of the ecumenical patriarchate in istanbul, the document became the birth certificate of the ukrainian of the local church, the ukrainian people have been waiting for this blessed day for seven centuries and finally the time has come for them to receive a sacred gift in the form of recognition of their maturity of independence and self-reliance to free themselves from any foreign tutelage and interference that did not always take care of and respect their own identity in the spring of 2018- th president petro poroshenko declared that ukraine is closer than ever to the creation of a local church, and in the fall the synod of the ec

the affairs of a church on the territory of ukraine by the russian federation in that church which was called the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, which should absolutely correctly be called the russian orthodoxne, and the citizens of ukraine, who are parishioners of the cottage cheese, should decide whether they serve what is called the army, i want orthodox church after all, it is absolutely correct that we say that we have a canonical church that has a tomos that works in ukraine, which is a unifying e-e about the orthodox church of ukraine to which people can go and be parishioners of our ukrainian church, well, there is information from the prosecutor's office, which we mentioned, opened criminal proceedings based on the statement of the promise of the armed forces of ukraine, yuriy gudymenko, about the illegal activities of the deputies of the national security agency, the investigation is carried out by the state bureau of investigation of the dbr, this information was reported i am quoting interfax-ukraine. indeed, the office of the prosecutor general instructed the dbr to conduct a criminal investigation based on the facts set out in the statement of a serviceman of the armed forces

how do you evaluate the reaction of the leadership of the ukrainian orthodox church of ukraine to the fact that this service of the ukrainian orthodox churchd not see the reaction of metropolitan onufriy, who is the head of this church, and vladyka pavel, well , remember in 2014 year that he promised to be uh with viktor yanukovych uh until his very end and where is he now giving yanukovych and where is he as he lied in essence, let's say so well, what to say here , he disappeared what mercedes - this is already known in the world already e-e in international publications they describe this person to what extent he is immoral , that is, you know how they say that there is no christ on him, where to put him, well, the man is very confused, he gave the nabu such a shame for the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, his scandals with cars, what journalists also experience, that the entire lower lavra was rebuilt without any permissions and so on, here this person has always discredited the uoc mp in ukraine . well, it is simply fantastic, so surely more than anyone else can take more than many people together, and therefore we will tell him to trus

how do you see the future of the kyiv-pechersk lavra the future of the kyiv-pechersk lavra is to be completely in to the ukrainian orthodox church, to the orthodox church of ukraine, and when we received the first permit, a one-time permit, everyone said it was only a one-time thing, there will be no continuation , but we see that there will be a continuation, we will do it gradually. at first, we serve only on major holidays. and when the kyiv-pechersk clergy will be formed lavras, when a part of the monks from the lower lavra will join us, then we will arrange that divine services will be held every day, and already in the cathedrals, in the central assumption cathedral, the services will be completed every sunday that is, it is only a matter of time, er, in order to organize everything and do it right, and it will happen. well, i want to explain to our viewers that in practice now, for you, this situation looks in such a way that you will receive permission to hold a service, for example, in the dormition cathedral of kyiv-pechersk lavras, but what is called the lower lavra, it is currently still under the control of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow

the very basis of such a dialogue is being undermined in ukraine right now, when, at the initiative of the leadership of ukraine , attempts are being made to destroy ukrainian orthodox church, the ukrainian orthodox churchtical, but a religious organization that unites more than 12,000 communities and millions of ukrainian citizens. on december 1, 2022, the national security and defense council of ukraine issued a decision, the actual purpose of which was to restrict the rights of the ukrainian orthodox church communities. affiliated with centers of influence in russia, in fact, we are talking about a ban on the ukrainian orthodox church, although its control center is located in kiev and not in moscow a. it is administratively independent of the russian orthodox church; these measures also provide for the activation of counter -intelligence activities of the ukrainian special services against the ukrainian orthodox church. deprivation of the ukrainian orthodox church of the right to use the temples of the most important historical monastery of the kiev-pechersk lavra and the introduction of so-called sanctions against her clergy. this decision was approved on the same day by a decree to the president o

of his prayer took place. simply no one hears . diocese of the ukrainian orthodox church is the father of our onufry and the uoc, we don't have a non-orthodox church of ukrainehe uoc, what is the uoc. if it's not the mp, absolutely, but look, russia still managed to consider the issue. under the pressure of the uoc-mp in ukraine, it is a very funny situation that russia will consider it, and the representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church in different countries do not need to protect us, because we do not need your protection but i think that the representatives of russia in the organization of the united nations will tell you what i'm going to, er, the mbk says, well, this is the canonical territory of the russian orthodox church, this is a church that is connected with the unity of the russian orthodox church, and that's why it is being pressured and the ukrainian orthodox church will say not because of this, but because of a why? well, then tell me why. do you understand this? this is a diagnosis that is generally not only spread in the uoc. it is a very popular diagnosis in our society. we want it to become the way it is. well, to

of the ukrainian orthodox church. in 2018, the orthodox church of ukraine, headed by metropolitan epiphanius, the historical moment of there was the usual morning christmas liturgy , but this time everything was different outside the assumption cathedral, monitors were prepared. for those who did not fit inside, but they were not needed, people did not come in the amount of journalists and the military managed to fill only the temple itself, these are the shots that we saw if in the pechersk lavra, when it was photons of the temple, people were connected who had no idea of ​​the orthodox worship. everyone noted this. who saw yes, people are just standing, they are not baptized. they don't react at all. it's simple destruction of religious life. as such, because there were people in the church who did not understand the meaning of christmas at all; it is important for them that this church is now our sermon by raskolnikov and epiphany today, and the present came down to the time to finally free yourself from the canonical domination of moscow and its moscow's servants are not the words of a bishop. and what is called

the nephew of kirill gundyaev, mikhail gundyaev yes , mr. andriyu if we talk about the implemented sanctions, will they help the priests of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate to transition to the orthodox church of ukraineed by his beatitude epiphanius how to proceed obviously, this should be decided by the clergy themselves, for example, his beatitude metropolitan epiphanius, even speaking here while in rome, noted that the absolute majority of monks, even of the kyiv-pechers lavra, are ready for this step , why do we need these sanctions, this is a sign, this is er, absolutely clear -e movement on the part of the state indicated in ukraine by the state authorities at all levels, at the same time, using absolutely legitimate legal methods, it will no longer tolerate any direct or hidden constructions that were to promote russian pro-russian narratives, of course, in a certain organizational and ideological sense, this will contribute to the fact that every clergyman will understand that what follows is a situation that for more than 30 years, taking into account our traditional tolerance, our desire to be as favorable as possible to manifestations of absolutely any identity in the conditions it is not

of his opponents, i would say even competitors that is, he is perfectly aware that the orthodox church of ukraine today is a competitor for the ukrainian orthodox church. has the authority and reputation of e-e fallen terribly in the last 10 months while this large-scale phase of e-e aggression of russia against ukraine is going on ? she did not hold back in her statements, we know his aggressiveness in relation to mass media and journalists, that is, he could also engage in assault. well, imagine how much has already been written about him during this time therefore, there is every reason to open this implementation. well, accordingly, bring this case to court. this is exactly what we are talking about, and say that if the state or society has claims against the ukrainian orthodox church, it should be addressed. well, the address is fine for us, metropolitan pavlo, but i want emphasize again i have already said several times that to find him, he is being brought to justice not because he is a metropolitan and not because he is an orthodox christian, but because he, as a citizen, is enmity by calling others . not even buddhists muslims and orthodox christians, uh, calling them schismatic

of the canonical church. in this case, we are talking about the ukrainian orthodox church, and therefore they are creating a simulator of a certain structure, they called it the orthodox church of ukrainenow they have issued a law according to, to which they have the right to forcibly change the name of the ukrainian orthodox church. why are they doing this in order to steal this name. they first want to take this name away from the canonical church, and then give the canonical name to a structure that does not have apostolic succession and does not have grace. that is, now, well, ukraine is even a trend of the ukrainian orthodox church. yes, because in their minds it is a brand, and in our minds it is not a brand at all. this is the church of christ and for them it is a brand. they think these will take the name that is their church. eh, will receive grace will not receive will not have grace. after all, uh, everything that happens in this ukrainian orthodox church is the orthodox church of ukraine , just remember, as they called it there. ah, this is an unauthorized self-consecrated structure, people who do not understand come to baptize children. to get married, to bury their dead r

kind of processes regarding their patriarch kirill, yes, and on the other hand, these people remain in the structure of the ukrainian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church . no one has ukraine anymore, but they don’t change. this process took place for a while, but then somehow it seems to me that something got stuck, can you correct me? well , the fact is that it was precisely the decision of the council on may 27, where they threw out all references to the moscow patriarchate in the statute, but left it as fundamentally mention of the charter of the 1990s, which granted independence in management, but in fact they do not have the status of either an autocephalous or an economic church. here they were called precisely to bring down this protest movement within the church now that they accepted various anti-ukrainian solutions are brought to the collaborators by pro-russian solutions, this protest movement is gaining strength again and, accordingly, this is a huge problem for the ukrainian orthodox church because, as mr. mykola correctly says, it is necessary to choose the race forever that either they take root here in ukraine and here there can be various models, because

concerns of the kiev-pechersk lavra, so tomorrow there will be a service of the orthodox church of ukraine, and he will be sent by metropolitan epiphany, but we understand that the ukrainian orthodox churchf the moscow patriarchate will not leave this matter just like that, and they have already announced that the metropolitan of the orthodox church of ukraine is coming epiphany, there is no permission for the previously announced divine service in the lavra on january 7, his intention is to try to seize the dormition cathedral by force, the synodal information and educational department of the cpsu, according to reports from the museum administration, the announced psu service in the dormition cathedral of the kyiv-pechersk lavra is not permitted during a meeting with representatives of the clergy and brothers of the lavra. on january 5, acting general director of the national reserve of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, oleksandr rudnyk, stated that no appeals about the use of the assumption cathedral and the trapezoidal church for religious services was not received by the ptu, but i would like to receive some kind of information from the head of the national reserve and what is actually happe

the state of freedom of conscience and the right to practice religion in our country. all this comes with a backdrop of chance relations between traditionally ukrainian orthodox church and the newly created orthodox church of ukraine. confusing to say the least. well, it seems that zalinski and his theme wants to get rid of anything that is connected to russia, and they're willing to go as far as change in christmas as ukrainians know it. in 2017 december 25th suddenly became a public holiday in ukraine in 2018 that ukrainian orthodox church officially split from its russian brethren after more than 300 years. and this year, they kicked out their russian counterparts and welcomed locals to celebrate christmas on the day the americans do with plans reportedly been made to make that change. all facial families historically are used to celebrating on january 7th. the people who go to the ukranian orthodox church are not requesting any change. it has been for years since the government announced december the 21st as an official holiday. and since then, you have not seen people celebrating it as christmas day, just like russians. the majority of ukrainians are orthodox christians, who have been celebrating christmas in

me, karol , this is the reality of the belarusian orthodox the churches of the moscow patriarchate because you and i see how in ukraine now the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate is being marginalized, and at the level of public perception, first of all. and what is happening with the bs bppc, especially after the replacement of the hierarchs, as far as i remember. last year, there was a replacement of the belorussian orthodox church in iraq church and even that hierarch who tried to take a more or less independent position in relation to lukashenka, he was simply taken from minsk to russia if i am not mistaken. well, one hierarch died there later they installed a new one, but they all depend on russia. our church does not even have actual formal autonomy of any kind, it is called the bpc, but in fact it is the belarusian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate and is completely subordinated to moscow, and all assignments come from moscow. here in ukraine, well , the situation is much better and this helped ukraine to actually create its own orthodox church in belarus, churches are completely a kremlin tool of political influence,
