Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko on Friday ordered the closure of 74 churches belonging to the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), citing its alleged “direct ties” to the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Klitschko’s decree is similar to that used to seize the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, or Monastery of the Caves, which Ukrainian police stormed last month. The world-famous holy site, which is nearly 1,000 years old, was handed over to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, a rival organization set up by the government in 2018.

“KIEV ORDERS CLOSURE OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES”
This will REALLY get the Leftists (Ukraine War supporters) excited!
This source is not Russia friendly so it isn’t Russian propaganda.
“citing its alleged “direct ties” to the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church”
And the Olive God is just allowing this??
They must be preaching against him.
I guess Zeeps haven’t figured out what alleged means.
Yeah, lets allege and close it down at the same time.
Hey, maybe Brandon will do that here and make it legit for you Zeepers.
Not surprised, Zelensky/Ukraine IS an Anti Christian GloboHomoTrannyPedoNazi organization, and always has been.
As are the FR Zeepers.
Illinois morbidly obese commie Governor. Just think, a whole country funded off US taxpayers butts and run by Chi town commies.
True.
Many Ukrainian Orthodox Churches in my area here in Upstate NY.
Penny Pritzker was the head of the committee that selected the unqualified ethnic-advocacy “scholar” Claudine Gay as the new president of Harvard!!
As a graduate alumnus of Harvard, I am appalled!!!!
“And these goofy Zeepers want us to pray for Ukraine.”
So not praying for Ukraine would be more spiritually fruitful for Ukraine than praying for it?
Are you sure you know what prayer is and why we should do it?
Also, all of this might be part of God’s plan and an answer to prayers. His ways are mysterious.
They only want us to pray Ukraine wins. I think their winning may be a big mistake and bad for Americans. Let Russia win and they can pay to fix Ukraine.
“And Ukraine can judge whether or not it’s in Ukraine’s best interest to let a Russian linked church organization continue in it’s territory.”
It’s always wonderful when a government can judge which churches are in its best interest or not.

Maybe the Pope should have denounced Mussolini and dropped the term “Roman” from the Roman Catholic Church ….maybe the US should have closed Roman Catholic churches in WW2 because Italy….obviously the origin of the Catholic church and its head in Rome, made the church and the Pope…an agent of an enemy Axis nation
Logic eh
No, they want PREY for Zelensky.
These Zeepers have totally went to the other side and don’t even recognize that they have.
I think he means it “pray for Ukraine” is Deep State propaganda.
