He bans church. He bans speaking Russian.

Yet people doubt the majority in Ukrainian regions voted to leave.

He bans church. He bans speaking Russian.

Actually "he" didn't ban either - neither did the Ukrainian parliament ban church or speaking Russian

Both are lies

first - for the Moscow-affiliated church -- From 1992 to 2018, there have been three Orthodox churches active in the independent Ukraine following the dissolution of the USSR: the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP), the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) (UOC-MP).

On 15 December 2018, members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate, the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, and parts of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), voted during an unification council through their representatives (bishops) to unite into the Orthodox Church of Ukraine on the basis of complete canonical independence. They elected their primate, Epiphanius

THAT church, forget about not being banned, is strongly supported by the government

Over 80% of the Orthodox in Ukraine belong to this Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The Moscow linked church brought pro-Kremlin intelligence dissemination, quite dangerous when Kremlin invaded Ukraine

And speaking Russian is not banned - this is unlike the situation in the USSR between the wars when speaking Ukrainian was banned.

The speaking of Russian is not banned in Ukraine, even now - where did you get such a lie?
