You truly are a Russian bootlicker, Hater. I strongly doubt you ever took the oath like your brothers did since you lie so easily and constantly side with Mother Russia.The Ukrainian parliament passed a new bill over the weekend under the orders of the country's gay psychopathic dictator, Vladimir Zelensky. Gay Hitler of the Donbas immediately signed it into law. This new law effectively bans the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (VOC) entirely in Ukraine. The faith that has been Russia and Ukraine's national religion for more than 1,000 years is now illegal in Ukraine.
Zelensky already cracked down hard on the church back when the war started. He was bulldozing churches and arresting priests. Similar actions that we've seen here in America by Democrats for their hatred of Christianity and priests of our churches.

Ukraine’s Ban on Russian Orthodox Church Is Compatible with Religious Freedom
Despite GOP concerns over government interference, local evangelicals agree that the historic church must fully separate from its Moscow parent.Last month, the Ukrainian parliament overwhelmingly approved a proposal to ban the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and compel the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) to break all ties with the patriarchate in Moscow. President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the bill into law, hailing his nation’s “spiritual independence.”
Some Republicans, including vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance, have accused Ukraine of “assault[ing] traditional Christian communities.” Vance linked these alleged violations to the continuation of US military support, stating that military aid should be used as leverage to ensure religious freedom.
The charge is nonsense, said a leading Ukrainian expert in an interview with CT.
The law, said Maksym Vasin, director for international advocacy and research at the Institute for Religious Freedom in Kyiv, is meant to protect Orthodox believers in Ukraine from Russian propaganda. The State Service for Ethnic Policy and Freedom of Conscience (DESS) studied ROC and UOC documents to demonstrate the continuing link between the two churches, despite the UOC’s postwar assertion of independence. Each of the UOC’s 10,000 parishes has now been given nine months to demonstrate that it is not connected to the ROC, subject to court judgment.
