Zelensky Announces New Steps for "Spiritual Independence" of Ukraine
Union of Orthodox Journalists ^ | 6/23/23 | Yaroslav Nivkin

The president promised new steps to sever "spiritual ties with the terrorist state."

On June 22, 2023, Volodymyr Zelensky announced new steps towards the "spiritual independence" of Ukraine. He announced this in an evening video message posted on social networks.

“Held a meeting on the spiritual independence of Ukraine. We continue the relevant work, and there will be new steps," Zelensky promised. “Obviously, there can be no spiritual ties with a terrorist state and those who justify the killing of Ukrainians and cover up evil.”

The President said, "We will reach the point where all kinds of dependence on Russia, which someone somewhere is trying to manipulate with, will be destroyed."

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Tkachenko did not rule out the forced eviction of the UOC from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

It also requires the abolition of the Orthodox Church, which they have already outlawed.

Zelensky’s playbook- outlaw all political opposition, abolish the centuries old Orthodox Church, support the immoral corrupted ways of the West ( gay marriage, etc), destruction of the family, and decimation of the male population……evil, corrupted, and destined for defeat.

Ukraine needs to pass laws requiring Ukrainian as their official language and then banning Russian in government, in the media, and the public schools. And send the Russian clergy/spies back to Russia.

War affords a great opportunity to demolish limits on political power.

That should increase his stature in your books, since much of that is what Putin has been doing for decades.

This has Henry VIII vibes to it

If Zelensky goes much further on this course may as well have just given them up to the oppression of Putin - he’s becoming more like Putin every single day.

More religious freedom in Russia.

Russia isn't 100% on religious freedom and has an established church. But any religion that had a presence in pre-Bolshevik Russia is free to practice starting with Yeltsin. Yes that includes Jews.

There is a lot of religious diversity in Ukraine. Don't be fooled by Russian propaganda.

And ask yourself why do people who claim the war in Ukraine is none of our business in the USA, and that we should stay out of it have such an interest in posting articles about how Russian controlled churches in Ukraine are treated?

It seems like they are much more interested in Russia and Ukraine than somebody from the USA who is only interested in our nation's interaction with Ukraine.

No, it just means Russian agents disguised as priests won't be active in Ukraine.

Ukrainians are more religious and traditional than most Americans.

Let me guess, you are a fake conservative, a fake American, and probably a Russian atheist getting paid to post here.

It is OK to admit your homosexuality. No need to hide it. You missed pride month, but your fascination with certain things says a lot about you. Nobody in the USA cares about something you are obsessed with.

Why pass laws when they have been killing and imprisoning those same people without laws?

Nothing like a bunch of crooks passing laws. Your kinda guys.
