the center of events in ukraine, midnight has passed, we are talking about the most important things in the past day. i am olga hrytsik. good night, metropolitan of the ukrainian orthodox church of the russian orthodox church, pavel , they did put on an electronic bracelet, although not on the first try he complained to the police about his health and showed his allegedly sick legs . it was necessary for him late on saturday evening . the shevchenko district court of kyiv chose a preventive measure for pavel, round-the-clock house arrest for two months, the prosecutors also requested the ban on the viceroy of the kyiv-pechersk lavra to use social networks but the court rejected this, the law please take it wrongly from the new one, dude, it’s not like that because they are broken in this one, and here it was like this, i’m so sorry that everything is broken here, are there veterans or something ? maybe from the hospital yes, well, what do you think they are sugar, look today 20 please hang on your conscience, i will remind you that on saturday morning the sbu handed pavlo a suspicion, he is accused of justifying russian aggression , inciting inter-religious enmity, the investigators also searched the estat

of the city council, there is no authority to make decisions on them, three land plots, we stopped the right-of-way use earlier, and they are now essentially taken by the ukrainian orthodox church of the russian orthodox churchee religious buildings do not have separate plots of land, and are on the territory of other land plots, everything in particular between the original academy of personnel management and this in particular khmelnytskyi regional hospital that they believe that this was done illegally and illegally the decision that the violation of their rights as a permanent land user, accordingly, they can challenge it in a court of law, where they could find out exactly what the grounds were for terminating the right to permanent use of the land plot. i believe that taking into account the vicissitudes of the russian-ukrainian war and their consequences of the court's decision should be not only the law, but also a just person, and they called on the heads of communities to conduct inspections on the territory of their temples. this was reported on the council's website , well, a participant in the fight with the soldiers of the holiday at the pokrovsky cathedral, the priest's assistant was charged w

of the espresso club well, volodymyr, back to the situation in ukraine, for almost a week we have been watching how the ukrainian authorities are trying to evict the branch of the russian orthodox church , the ukrainian orthodox churchmoscow patriarchate, from the kyiv-pechersk lavra, yes, yes, i did not slander. that is what patriarch kirill gundyaev calls our church in particular, now the filmmakers will show a letter that was not written by the patriarch of moscow , saint cyril of russia, blessed is the most blessed theophilus, patriarch of the holy city of jerusalem and all of palestine, so in this letter he is writes about the fact that at this time the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate entered the most violent period of persecution by the authorities and the supporting power of schismatics united aimed at the destruction of canonical orthodoxy in ukraine. this is a quote from the letter of e.e. that the moscow monks and moscow priests who are in the kiev-pechersk lavra are actually demonstrating to all of ukraine that they have nothing to do with ukrainian laws, with the ukrainian government, especially during the war, according to your actions must be taken by the ukrainian authorities in o

the tension is growing, and this is, of course, extremely dangerous in the conditions of russian military aggression for ukraine, you see among the hierarchs of the orthodox church of the ukrainian orthodox churchf the moscow patriarchate a willingness to restore communication at least with the ecumenical patriarch. not to mention the work. currently, i do not see such signals from from their side, but still, you know, nadiya dies last uh, that's why i don't see , for example, uh, and jacob, i'm an expert as a person who studied the history and theology of the orthodox church, but i don't see any reason not to do it here you only need the will and the problem here. it is interesting that there are the same circles in the ukrainian orthodox church that support the restoration of relations with those churches with which eucharistic communication was broken and support dialogue with the orthodox church of ukraine, but it turns out that the ukrainian orthodox church was such an authoritarian pyramidal structure is extraordinary and it is a pity that, as evidence, the head does not hear the voice of his own family and does not take it into account in communication outside, in communication within th

the reign of mr. poroshenko, and then this already radical stage of the destruction of the orthodox on the territory of ukraine began . he understands that the ukrainian orthodox church is part of the russian orthodox churchpeople finally , it is necessary to destroy the main beneficiary, in general, our thousand-year history, the ukrainian orthodox church. naturally, the kiev-pechersk lavra is not only a sacral e, a story associated with the destiny of the mother of god. moreover, the ukrainian orthodox church. this is the foundation of the foundations, russian monasticism came from there, and we all know that we didn’t just buy everything, therefore, in order to destroy orthodoxy on the territory of ukraine and finally tear it away from the russian world from russia, you need to destroy it, e, kiev-pechersk lava and watch the video in heavy footage. i know that you personally know the owner of pavel yes , you know, we were lucky just on the eve of the already radical part of the maidan in 2014. e get acquainted with vladyka pavel to be in the kiev-pechersk lavra. we accompanied the gifts of the magi to the great orthodox shrine, and we talked a lot, so we worry about the lord. paul we know that he is li

of the central themes of russian propaganda was the theme of what is happening in ukraine around the actual return of churches to the ukrainian orthodox church of ukraine and around the eviction , in russian, of the orthodox church from the kyiv pechersk lavra well, of course, russian propagandists are trying to use this topic as much as possible in order to stir up some confrontations in ukrainian society, to raise some protests . they say that this is some kind of persecution of orthodoxy, as if some orthodox people are constantly taking non-orthodox people from orthodox churches, that literally catholics want to destroy the only correct faith, and yet, but it must be said that even the most hardened the most well, let's say that the hot followers of the russian patriarchate still don't really believe that they will be able to keep the kiev-pechersk lavra behind them, and this is very clearly demonstrated. now , let's look at a plot that actually there it is says the chief editor and chief producer of the spas channel, which generally positions itself as the most orthodox channel , which is actually focused on such brainwashing of believers in general, and nevertheless, he characterizes this situation i

was also a decade ago. >> talk us through the timing of this video and the tensions that exist between the ukrainian orthodox church and the russian orthodox church>> the division goes back to 2019 when the ukrainian orthodox church which is historically part of the split. one part became independent and the other maintained links with the moscow branch. things got much more is after the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine by russia last year. the russian church supports it. that created more splits in the moscow affiliated churches including the ukrainian one which has since distanced itself from moscow. not enough to be fully trusted by kyiv. in recent months the ukrainian government has accused the orthodox church of russian collaboration. it is also trying to evict it from the monastery in kyiv where it is based. these tensions continue to rise and russia is capitalizing on these tensions and the situation. particularly by using it in an disinformation -- a disinformation war. this video is a good example of that. >> thank you. that is truth or fake. more news coming up. stay with us. this is france 24. ♪ >> want to know? find out here. >>

only of the ukrainian public, of the russian er-e of this criminal power, but also of the whole world, this is a story from a branch of the russian orthodox church of the ukrainian orthodox churchf the moscow patriarchate because on april 1, the shevchenkiv district court of the capital sent the former vicar of the kiev pechersk lavra, pavlo or peter , who was born a swan until may 30, under 24-hour arrest on suspicion of inciting inter-religious enmity and justifying russia's armed aggression against ukraine. he said a lot, apologized to journalists and said that there is no glass ahead. and kyiv, let's watch a small fragment from the courtroom, and once again, if you, dear journalists, have something there will be dinners, but i ask one thing, what is shown about the laurel, where about the golden dome, indicate what we will tell our tv viewers. maybe someone missed this news that an electronic bracelet was put on the leg of pasha's mercedes , they call it, and he thanked the policeman who wore this bracelet and compared it with simon of cyrene, who for the bible helped carry the cross of jesus christ, let's also see a small fragment, and now i am very grateful to you for all

the opening of parishes. on the canonical territory of the russian orthodox church , one thing must be understood, that the fullness of the ukrainian orthodox churchas a connection with universal orthodoxy through the moscow patriarchate. that's it, we don't talk about more than we don't talk about, what are you doing all this rule, uh, a large continent, where? in general , a large number of orthodox people live. i am now talking about the continent of africa and i do not know the statistics, er, but am i right in my assessment that there are more of them than in europe and yes, you absolutely right, well, in terms of quantity, we still cannot statistically give calculations of their salaries. just a year and 3 months about it. we are now going to talk more extensively with you, but already looking ahead, if i would like to indicate that in a year and 3 months we managed to tightly enter the continent, which means, uh, we are present in twenty-one countries in six. we have already received registration. we have over 200 priests. uh, i have already ordained about 10 diagnoses of new ordination illuminators. we continue to increase the volume er, e

structure of ecumenical orthodoxy that determines the status of this or that church and the ukrainian orthodox church. there is no other status in world orthodoxy except as part of the russian orthodoxhurch. well , it turns out that the ukrainian hierarchies supposedly do not really have any influence or do not want to have influence on their own clergy whom they ordain, by the way, and on their own believers, so, well, i don’t know, they should think about what the future holds for this a religious organization that is increasingly being dismissed and is simply a shelter foretelling agencies of saboteurs, agents, well, spies . well, i am not talking about the more blatant cases when they directly worked as correctional officers. well, think about it, yes , a clergyman corrects in vogon, a russian is aiming to kill ukrainians in to his own animals. well, you understand, that is, the priest adjusts the fire with which his believers who went to him will be killed. maybe at the sermon. well, i understand, maybe he, like this albert, seems to have been one of the founders. of the famous order of chivalry, he said so hippocrates, do we have how to save life, and i teach you how to get ri

and as people we cannot but ask you about matters with the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, or the russian orthodox churchukraine, we are forever confused by these formulations, we understand that this process has begun , but this process, in particular, in the lviv region is somewhat skidded, we understand that they started dismantling the illegal so-called small architectural form and so on, but why do you think this was not done earlier. if this illegal form, so to speak, was illegal, this process actually began in 2018, when ukraine received the tomos on january 6 in 2019, from the hands of the constantinople patriarch bartholomew, his beatitude epiphanius received a tomos as a document confirming the canonical autocephaly of our ukrainian church, and after that there was a decision of the ukrainian parliament about the fact that there is no uoc mp in ukraine, but there is a moscow patriarchate, the russian orthodox church in ukraine, and then it stopped for four long years, and only now, when full-scale aggression forced the current government to act, this process of restoring the canonical ukrainian

ukrainian autocephalous church. he asked me personally help on sunday ukrainian autocephalous church, and i agreed ukrainian independent bishops of the orthodox canons. you need two or three bishops, who then ordain new priests, and a former bishop of the russian orthodox church, decided in 1989. do not confuse with bondarchuk, they restored the so-called ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church, from which came the schismatic priests of the orthodox church of ukraine viktor chikalin and ioann bodnarchuk participated in 1990 at the kheraton. this is the sacrament of ordination, in which the christian special grace is transferred for the teaching and priesthood of the first bishops. at the apts, this is the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church, one of which was metropolitan andrey abramchuk of galicia, who in 2019 was part of the delegation of the schismatic churches of ukraine at the ceremony of presenting thomas on autocephaly to the fan. we said they are, and the second bishop of whom viktor chekalin ordained is vasily bondarchuk, brother of john , who, in turn , ordained more than 300 priests in ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church, who in turn ordained other priests, that is, all the bishops of the ukrainian autocephalous orthodox church, who

consecrate easter eggs and pysanka to the religious buildings of the russian orthodox church, and vice versa near the walls of the ukrainian orthodox church of ukraine, a large number of people who came and were very happy that they are already going to the orthodox church of ukraine andriy please tell me how the mood is in general in the public mood in vinnytsia in connection with proposals to minimize the influence of the moscow patriarchate on society well, we can see that already at the local level there are certain decisions calling on the verkhovna rada to adopt this important bill, and what people in vinnytsia say. that is, what percentage of those who are still ready to go to the uoc mp who defends their interests in vinnytsia. you know this, as a rule , representatives of such an older generation , who, as a rule, don't care which church to go to, it's just convenient for them because it's close to theirs buildings or in which neighborhoods the church is located, more and more young people are drawn to the orthodox church of ukraine and more and more young people understand how important it is to have their own church, their patr

ukrainian court from the territory of the lavra, and i think that this is the maidan of ordinary ukrainians who oppose this very orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate or representatives of the russian of the orthodox church, and in particular, from paul himself and his supporters, there is the maidan. i think that it can expand , just like that, the protest can represent the positions of ukraine, ukrainians, and common sense in relation to the pochaiv lavra, so i wanted to ask your opinion, how do you do you think we will see the second series of this series? and svyatohorsk, let's sit here . yes. well, let's also remember that there is a pochaiv lavra and this is also an extremely serious story in the future in ternopil oblast, so i think that the story can continue, but considering uh, on the fact that , well, in fact , i will not be the eye of the leadership power of uh, paul, who already is dear abbot of the lavra, he came from the uoc mp to the ptu. i think that this process will develop naturally and quickly enough . i think that the congregation will understand quickly enough about what the majority of people will transfer to the ptu and will continue to go to the lavra e to the place where nu wil

ukrainians to drop everything and go to the expulsion of the orthodox from their holy abode . provocateurs hold posters with the inscription of the russian church. not a place in ukraine the cathedral belongs to the ukrainian orthodox church 1992. the city authorities want to transfer it to the schismatic orthodox church of ukraine; now in the temple they are putting the final end to the existence of the so -called moscow patriarchate. i hope that in the near future this church will become a garrison church for the dog, in the morning the schismatics seized several churches of the canonical ukrainian orthodox church in western ukraine; this is footage from the chernivtsi region, opponents of the canonical ukrainian orthodox church, as media reports go inside. during the recall of the deceased serviceman, after the seizure of the church , the rector was taken to the hospital by doctors. and this is already in the rivne region, supporters of the dog cut off the locks on the temple, the parishioners can do nothing, they only watch from the side, they are not allowed to come closer russia, however, demands the immediate release of the metropolitan of the canonical ukrainian orthodox church pavel from house arrest at a weekly

clergymen of the ukrainian orthodox church, you know how everyone does not want to call it ukrainian, well, what kind of ukrainian is it, let's call it simply a branch of the russian orthodox churchn ukraine , they have passports of citizens of the russian federation, apparently no one doubted this, but you know it to doubt, not to doubt, you can in many things, some do not doubt that the earth is flat, but still, there must be evidence . berezovsky is such a name in the world. onufria received a russian passport on march 20 , 2002 in moscow, that is, a 20-year-old man has had a passport for 21 years and has been there for several years. i don't remember when we are a robot. volodymyr sabodan died -he rested his soul in god, but well, then onufry became the head of this moscow church in ukraine . well, he was already a citizen of the russian federation all the time. in 2003, he received a foreign passport of the russian federation in the capital of russia, according to the same extract. onufry received a foreign passport of russia and in 1998, therefore, the metropolitan had russian citizenship much earlier than the rest of the 20 priests, among them there are 13 high-ranking rep

ukrainian orthodox church of the uoc mp - this is an oxymoron like hot snow, there is no ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate according to current legislation, there is only the russianchurch in ukraine, i communicated with those adapts that are now in the kiev-pechersk lavra , first of all, the priest at the head of the russian orthodox church in ukraine deliberately pushes these people to commit a crime, what is happening now can be qualified as article 341 of the criminal code of ukraine, seizure of administrative buildings, state buildings and structures, see, up to 5 years of imprisonment, in fact, these people use their believers for political purposes , use them for illegal purposes, and push them to commit crimes, this is what these people must understand believers, these people who are now in the kiev-pechersk lavra are definitely religious fanatics there and i clearly identified them as a candidate of political sciences as a religion expert when i spoke with them, and they are also openly paid, what we know we have already begun to forget this term paid-up aunties and these grandfathers can be not only young people with a sporty appearance, they can also be

ukrainians to drop everything and go to the expulsion of the orthodox from their holy abode . provocateurs hold posters with the inscription of the russian church. not a place in ukraine the cathedral belongs to the ukrainian orthodox churchsince 1992. the city authorities want to transfer it to the schismatic orthodox church of ukraine; now in the temple they are putting the final end to the existence of the so -called moscow patriarchate. i hope that in the near future this church will become the garrison church of the dog, during the morning the schismatics seized several churches of the canonical uoc in western ukraine ; after the church was captured , the doctors took him to the hospital. and this is already in the rovno region, supporters of the bird are cutting off the locks on the temple. the parishioners cannot do anything, only the parties are observed, they are not allowed to come closer, while russia demands the immediate release of the metropolitan the canonical ukrainian orthodox church of st. paul from under house arrest, the russian foreign ministry said today that the consequences for what they have done will not be long in coming for zelensky and all the theomachists from the government will be rewarded

the ukrainian orthodox church is burning , ukrainian nazis are accused of starting the fire, this fits into the russian narrative that accuses ukrainians of persecuting the followers of the russian branch of the orthodox church. on it we see that the church is burning in the background and people are looking at it, starting from april 5, the video is spreading not only in russian telegram but also in other social networks in different languages, in particular in french, english and german, everyone accuses the nazis or ukrainian radicals of having started the fire. and in this world, in english , it is said that the churches with the russian language of service were the target. here is this tweet in italian as well it is speculated that the eu is complicit in these alleged persecutions. the video was also picked up by the russian media about the kremlin . then it was deleted and they claim that the church in question is located in the village of novopoltavka in the south of ukraine, which is north of kherson and mykolaiv, how did you verify this and is this church even in ukraine? we were looking for a church in novopoltavka and came across a photo of it on the internet. here it is and even at first glance i

kirill of moscow and all russia addressed the believers in congratulating representatives of the russian orthodox church, he also mentioned persecution on the canonical ukrainian orthodox church is not easy. i would even say a fateful time. although, of course, there are no simple times, however, today we we see how the sorrows and sufferings of people have multiplied, and in the hearts of many osku. they made love a picture of the past, the church, as it is happening now in ukraine, is again being persecuted and persecuted by atheists who do not consider themselves as such, but in fact. such are they who seize churches and shrines dear to the orthodox people, and today we especially pray for those who courageously bear the cross of confession, carry with patience and strong hope the promise of the savior to remain in their church until the end of time. in in kiev, believers so far manage to defend the lavra , all attempts by raskolnikov to seize the shrine failed in the exaltation of the cross church. the easter service was conducted by a representative of the uoc metropolitan. onuphry church could not accommodate everyone, many prayed right on the street, despite the heavy

ukrainian soldiers, to call the war a war , they are playing this game of words that the ukrainian orthodox church of the patriarchate and when i, the abbot, will buy the eh suggested to stick to the sign russian orthodox churchay with these er words well, of course they don't want that because now they have found such a um such a such a rule of course now they refuse they they refused to bury eh for our defenders eh refuses to comment on their own , which were published on russian clerical sites, we showed them all this, demonstrated how they are covered on russian sites, well , this is absurd, this is absurd, but unfortunately , a lot of work still needs to be done because there is no need, we will call things by their names of people who still go to the moscow church a lot and of course we had some clashes and conflicts under the church in ternopil with the parishioners of the moscow church of course, no one is going to use any forceful methods. we are culturally trying to explain our position . why do we wish the people of ternopil wisdom in solving such things? thank you for the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel . this is what our burkov day on espresso looked like . watered monday is already tom

it was liquidated, which, by the way, forbade the renaming of this church to the russian orthodox church, and now it is still called the ukrainian orthodoxone now, well, in case of a crisis, but the risk that the judicial system is actually on the verge of great success in the reform, because some other parts , for example, the supreme council of justice or the constitutional court, are not going well so far successfully, as i would like, there is great progress in the formation of the higher wheels of the commission of judges, this is such a personnel department of the judicial system, these are actually the people who have to recruit somewhere around 2.5 thousand judges in the next couple of years for the vacant positions that are now available, and this is a huge chance to change judicial system and recruit great, truly honest professionals there, but this chance if these elections fail, we will not be able to fully provide ourselves with 16 great people to choose there, then this is a chance to cement the judicial system in the form in which it has been for years about 30 years ago, now the stakes are as high as possible and now , as

of the russian orthodox church, who has supported russia's invasion of ukraine. says we saw their russian president vladimir putin celebrating orthodox east red church, while ukrainians are marking the holiday under russian fire. earlier dw correspondent mathias boeing that told us how that is being received in ukraine. it's especially bitter because this night or a rocket hit, a church is near the front lines and the ukrainian internet is to day full of pictures of this church that there was nobody in the church. nobody was heard there, but other rockets hit the city of support asia, so that was quite a bloody easter night again. and john, that is of course, some things that are marx this day as a bitter day and pictures of lady middleton celebrating inside the church. the church, the russian orthodox church having played a role as a, as a supporter of this war, is of course something that people here do not like to see as much as a bang. i speaking to me earlier, we can take a look now at some other stories making news around the world's poland and hungary have announced a bands on grain and other food imports from ukraine in an attempt to protect their agricultura

of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. we talk about it all the time, but the russian orthodox church legally is not the ukrainian orthodoxhurch there , the moscow patriarchate is in brackets . this is the same bill. it started in 2018 , when a local council was held and when a local church was created in ukraine through the unification of orthodox churches and on january 6 , 2019 in constantinople, the ukrainian church officially received the tomos of recognition of autocephaly , as it corresponds to the canons, and immediately after that there was the following decision, which spoke about what the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate has in ukraine can be the orthodox church of ukraine canonical and the russian church in ukraine can be canonical because it is also canonical today, the present day, and then the former members of the regional police there, i don’t know what their background was in the pechersk infamous court, blocked further development this issue and for the long three years of 2019-20, the 21st and until the 22nd year, this issue stopped, the war raised this issue again because the mosco
