The bill outlaws any religious organisations considered to have ties to Moscow.
Vladimir Zelensky has signed a law that calls for the banning of any religious group suspected of having ties to Russia. It threatens to effectively shut down the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) – the largest faith-based organization in the country.
The Ukrainian parliament introduced the legislation earlier this week; it is expected to take effect in 30 days. After that, all the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and all affiliated religious organizations will be outlawed.
The UOC will have nine months to sever all ties with the ROC, despite the Ukrainian church having already declared full autonomy from the Moscow Patriarchate in 2022, following the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict.
After signing the legislation on Saturday, the country’s Independence Day, Zelensky released a video address stating that “Ukrainian Orthodoxy is today taking a step towards liberation from Moscow’s devils.”
Moscow has condemned Ukraine’s crackdown on religious communities; the Holy Synod of the ROC issued a statement on Thursday comparing the new legislation with Soviet-style repression and other historical persecutions of Christians.
“The purpose of this law is to liquidate [the UOC] and all its communities and to forcibly transfer them to other religious organizations,” the Synod surmised, noting that “hundreds of monasteries, thousands of communities, and millions of Orthodox believers in Ukraine will find themselves outlawed and will lose their property and place of prayer.”
The Synod stated that it would appeal Kiev’s actions with international human rights organizations and call on them to immediately and objectively respond to the “flagrant persecution of believers in Ukraine.”
Meanwhile, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev responded to the new law by stating that Zelensky has “no religious identity” and describing the crackdown as “full-fledged Satanism,” supported by Ukraine’s Western backers.
“This story will not go unpunished for Ukraine,” Medvedev wrote, stating “the country will be destroyed, like Sodom and Gomorrah,” referring to the Old Testament story of two cities obliterated by divine intervention for their wickedness. “The demons will inevitably fall,” he continued, adding that their punishment will be “earthly, cruel, painful and will happen soon.”
Religious tensions have plagued the country for a long time, with a number of entities claiming to be the true Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The two main rival factions are the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Kiev-backed Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), which is considered by the Russian Orthodox Church to be schismatic.
The UOC remains the largest Orthodox church in Ukraine, with more than 8,000 parishes across the country. However, since the 2010s, some of these have been choosing to transfer to the jurisdiction of the OCU under pressure from authorities in Kiev.
Throughout the 1914 Russian Empire were listed 54,174 Christian churches. In addition there were 25,593 chapels, 1,025 monasteries, military churches and cemetery chapels, by 1987 only 6,893 churches and 15 monasteries remained, that’s what the Jews did to Russia after staging the revolution, not one synagogue was touched.
According to the Bible, behind the synagogue of satan is the Roman Catholic church: Revelation 18:24 (KJV) And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
And in your next breath, you will say, and where doe’s it say say catholic in the bible.
Revelation 18:24 “And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were RIGHTEOUS slain upon the earth.”
The Jews are Babylon
Babylonian Telmudic Judaism which is communism which the Jews bought back from Babylon in 538BC after the 70 year captivity
Which teachings the Catholic Church emanates from
Catholicism the The Beast of Revelation 13:11 which came up out of the earth Europe was borne out the First Council of Nicaea in 325AD and after being infiltrated taken over and controlled by the Jesuits who were the remnant distillate seed of the Jews who fled Palestine after the destruction of Herod’s (Not Solomon’s) Temple by the Romans in 70AD to places like Spain and Byzantine
Matthew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
What snake oil do these Church’s being run as business’s teach?
Jesus was a Jew
The Jews are YAHWAH Gods chosen people Israel
The Jews are the House of Israel – ELOHEEM
Three Gods not one
Why was the Holy Spirit expressly forbade from entering Asia?
Acts 16:6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Because it would have been a waste of time as most are mixed race slavic jews and Adamites aw-dawm (Genesis 1:26-27) which do not contain the Holy Spirit which is only found within The House of Israel
His Spirit viberates with Our Spirit
His Spirit bears witness with Our Spirit
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of YAHWAH God.
Any Israelite can gain salvation deliverance
Which pertains to this world and now
But only the House of Israel can enter into eternal resurrection and redemption because only they have something to claim back which they formerly possessed their spiritual light bodies (Dweller-Shakina)that they had to give up in order to be able to come into 3D as a small portion of their true selves the Holy Spirit through the racial doorway of Et YAdam the Adam the Son of YAHWAH God His First begotten Luke 3:38
Adamic White only blood and water flesh body – Semitic
The tents of Shem – Hebrews
In through the racial doorway of ‘the’ Adam
Out through the Spiritual doorway of Jesus Christ YAHWASUA
Who was the Word in the 3rd heaven
And the First and the Last Adam
And the anointed Messiah when he returns for a makeover
Christian is an English Word that basically means nothing
and the collective West is silent as a tomb while this religious persecution continues.
Canceled elections, opposition parties raided and banned, independent media raided and banned, and now religious persecution. Great “democracy” our taxpayer money is funding Luxon. The only way Zelensky has managed to cling to power is by destroying democratic and religious institutions.
In need of money. Zelensky is going to sell to US and western collectors all orthodox church treasures.
It is about repression of christianity but surely also about money. The only thing that is important to the usual usury lenders
Nasty devious joo
One can understand why the Ku Klux Klan went after both Catholics and J3w$.
Catholicism has left out various books from the KJV Bible (BTW- King James the 1st was an early Freemason), hence Sir Francis Bacon (also a Freemason and the principle author of the KJV Bible) that kept the ‘masses’ ‘ in the dark’, especially since most of the ‘masses’ were illiterate and relied on the early Catholic Priests to read excerpts. to them…
&, it’s the same ‘Church’ that carried out witch trials, pogroms, and that wonderful point in history known as the ‘Inquisition’.
Today, the Pope (part of the anti-Christ system) bows down to Israel and the Jews.
Keith is absolutely correct in his assessment of Christian Church numbers numbers both pre-1914 and 1987 in Soviet Russia.
Today, Russian President Putin has built over 33,000 Russian Orthodox Christian Churches, and has made Aleksander Solzhenytsyn’s book titled ‘The Gulag Archipelago’ mandatory reading in High Schools prior to graduation. He’s already booted most of the J3w$ and Oligharchs out of Russia.
The war in Ukraine was started by the J3w$, and Putin is defending Orthodox Christianity from the same fate that happened to uninformed and illiterate Russians in 1917.
What happened to Russia during those years is now happening in the West, especially in the U.S., which is top-heavy with J3w$ being appointed into Cabinet positions, and politicians not taking their Oath of Office (not on file anywhere in the Library of Congress) , while being politically-fueled with AIPAC and ADL money for their campaigns.
The ‘(s)elected officials’ don’t give a shit about their constituency in the U.S. or Yanks living overseas!!
Russia is now offering refuge to Christians from the West, and a number of Americans are now serving in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, with Russian Citizenship at the end of their tours.
There are still problems with certain aspects of migrating to Russia, but Putin is ironing these out as the migration progresses.

You won’t see these on TVNZ, Freeview Channel 200 or in any other Zionist Western Media outlets…
If Russia ever fell again to the Zionist Bolsheviks, then the world becomes ruled by the Zionist Banksters once again, on a global scale.
Russia stand between free sovereignty and Zionist / Talmudic enslavement of the West.
& Nutanyahu’s speech before the U.S. Congress was absolutely despicable and a compilation of massive lies told to the gullible American People, except for those protesting for Palestine outside of the U.S. Capitol…1
Outside of the, One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, there is now salvation.

Catholics were and are part of christianty. You seem to forget that no one, except church clercs, could read and write before books were first printed. So it was indeed the catholic church that spread christianity in western europe. And made copies of the bible for the clergy . Beautiful works of art, you will find also within the orthodox church but never find with protestant churches.
And wrote the liturgy and its beautiful music. And built cathedrals and churches. This was driven by religious fervour of illitarate people.
The first book printed was the Bible, but many versions of it as it was printed by men and not by God if you understand what i mean.
It was revolutionary and but also provoked the splitsing of the catholic church . The Reform is consecutive to book printing. So you ancestors were also catholic before becoming protestants. En do not forget that the catholics were also murdered by protestants especially in Great Britain But as all massacres and murders, are always guided by politic motives. And that is the State, being represented by a king or a president. And churches were always a tool used by those in power
Here Here.
So democratic! Stand with Ukraine! Yeah right, a paranoid Nazi style regime that slaughters its own young in a US proxy war, persecutes religious groups and murders civilians. What does this say about our current and last governments, here in NZ who lined their vile pockets with over $100M of our hard earned tax dollars. Nauseating.
