Assault on Faith: Ukraine’s Crackdown on the Orthodox Church!

Recent developments in Ukraine have ignited a firestorm of controversy and debate over the intersection of religion, national identity, and state power. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed into law legislation that effectively bans religious organizations associated with the Russian Orthodox Church from operating in Ukraine. This move, seen by some as an extension of Ukraine’s efforts to distance itself from all Russian influences, has resulted in violent confrontations and raised significant concerns about religious freedom and state overreach.
