Ukrainian's parliament approved legislation banning religious organisations with ties to Russia. This paves the way for Kyiv to end activities of the Moscow-linked orthodox church on Ukrainian soil. A huge majority voted in favour.

Ukrainian officials have long argued that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate operates as an arm of the Russian Orthodox Church to undermine Ukraine and that it is complicit in Russia’s full-scale war. In particular, Ukrainian officials accuse the UOC-MP of working closely with Russia’s powerful security service, the FSB.

“The Russian Orthodox Church has nothing to do with faith — it is a tool of the special services,” Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine’s presidential administration, wrote on Telegram.

The bill needs to be signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to become law, but he signalled in a meeting with Ukrainian religious leaders on Saturday that he would not hesitate to do so. Zelenskyy said Russia used the church to suppress the independence of other states and to limit the freedoms of their citizens. “Therefore, it is our common duty to guarantee Ukrainian spiritual independence,” he said.
