Well - if you ignore some pretty damning evidence that these figures (and quite a few more in the local churches) have been actively supporting Russian troops via intelligence, safe harbor, and even financially.

So... yeah. Treat them like you would treat a business that was committing treason against the nation.

But also understand - when the so-called “Ukrainian Orthodox” split from the Russian Orthodox, it was nothing more than a name change. Bishops still beholden to the Russian patriarchs- and if one does just a little history study, you find that the Russian Orthodox aided and abetted the Soviets in a lot of pretty atrocious ways over the history of the Soviet Union - and still to this day are almost like their own oligarchy (its’ why Putin regularly bows before them with his little prohibitions that make him look almost Christain). He gives just enough to appease these powerful church figures.

When we often talk of Germany and the Nazis - and how certain major churches were complicity - even directly promoting Hitler’s actions (including the genocides)... The Russian Orthodox has been that same player for Russia (and prior - the USSR).

And the “Ukrainian Orthodox” church has been a major player in turmoil in Ukraine - and consistently supportive of the Russian puppet government officials (and presidents) that have come along.

Why don’t you call for the closure a Swiss if it all assets of the Catholic Church now? After all, it is headquartered in Rome, and sometimes goals against the wishes of the United States government.

So, what is the cool Ukrainian church that bows to both Zelensky and God?

Baloney. Those monks in those churches, down in the basement with their shortwaves. They reporting whether the lights are off or on? Or you think with their secret commando training they are out there identifying weapons, mapping nazi positions etc? They are more watched by SBU than anyone else.

It’s just Ukrainian bigotry on the order of cancelling the Nutcracker, pulling Russian dressing off the shelf, burning Tolstoy books. Just idiotic Uke drama.
