You need to understand the players. The "canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church" is under the Patriarchate of Moscow. The Patriarchate of Moscow dances to the tune the Russian government plays, as they have for centuries.

The "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" is the "autocephalous" (self-headed) church _not_ under Moscow, set up by the decree of the Patriarch of Constantinople in 2018.

It's only the Russian-controlled Orthodox churches that are being closed.

That is not what the article says. They had already shut down Russian Churches and what the heck right do they have shutting down churches? This is so obvious.

We were attacked on 9/11 by Muslims. Did we shut down all mosques?

You people have went along with taking away freedom to support a wretched corrupt country that has embraced Homos . That is what Ukraine churches are now.
