Ukraine's Parliament's recent bill aims to legally ban the Russian-aligned Orthodox Church, marking a significant step in addressing national security concerns amidst the ongoing war with Russia.
The legislation targets the Russian Orthodox Church, stating it aids in espionage, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, reflecting the deepening schism in Ukrainian society.
President Zelensky, although not Orthodox, supports the bill to curb the influence of the Russian-aligned church, which has been implicated in supporting the Russian invasion.
This move is a continuation of Ukraine's long struggle for religious independence and national security against perceived threats from the Russian Orthodox Church.
