Ukraine Bans Russia-Linked Orthodox Church
Aug 20, 2024, 09:33 AM
The Ukrainian Parliament has passed a law banning religious organizations linked to Russia, specifically targeting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP). This decision comes amid concerns over the church's ties to the Kremlin and the Russian FSB. The law will take effect 30 days after its publication, with UOC-MP communities given nine months to sever ties with the Russian Orthodox Church. The move is seen as a significant step in reducing Russian influence within Ukraine.
