No. You are not keeping up.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Church is still there. The RUSSIAN Orthodox Christian Church which is heavily infiltrated by Russian agents is the one that was banned. Facts that you ignore.
Are you aware that Russia invaded Ukraine 500 days ago which has resulted in hundreds of thousand people killed, cities, towns, villages, farms and fields destroyed?
One would think that would justify Ukrainian martial law and a restriction of normal civil rights. After all, Roosevelt forcibly put Japanese Americans into internment camps in WW II and there was no Jap army ravishing a large part of the US like the Russians are doing to Ukraine.
LOL! Is the “bag of Shlt” insult your best shot? OK Moscow Jane. Like Hanoi Jane who shilled for the Communist thugs in the Viet Nam War, you, Moscow Jane, are shilling for Russian invaders, many of them closet and open communists who have brutally invaded a smaller peaceful neighbor. Like they did in Chechnya, Georgia, Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania before Ukraine.
Try to keep up Moscow Jane.
Week in the box
So in the Ukraine there is no freedom of religion, no freedom of speech and no free press. Do I have that correct?
Canonically speaking, the newer Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) has less support from the various Orthodox churches globally than the Ukranian Orthodox Church (UOC), which you so uncharitably describe as merely the Russian Orthodox Church. The UOC, as I'm sure you know, severed communion with the Moscow Patriarchate in protest of the Russian invasion.
However, as far as Zelensky is concerned, that apparently wasn't enough. And now churches and religious sites held by the UOC for centuries are being suppressed by the Ukrainian government, and given control over to the OCU in spite of vocal clerical and lay opposition.
But it's all okay "because Russia", right?
After all, Roosevelt forcibly put Japanese Americans into internment camps in WW II and there was no Jap army ravishing a large part of the US like the Russians are doing to Ukraine.
And our government's official position was that the forced re-interment of American citizens of Japanese descent (regardless of loyalty) was wrong, as per a bill signed in 1988 by Ronald Reagan.
A good zot if I might say.
