Even Sobchak’s mother spoke out in defense of Orthodoxy in Ukraine
The Federation Council issued a statement today condemning the violations of the rights of believers in Ukraine.
This is stated in a special statement by Russian senators, which will be sent to all parliaments of the world, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Ukrainian authorities are actually trying to impose on the people of Ukraine, as the official church, a para-political structure created with the support of the West, calling itself the “Orthodox Church of Ukraine.” At the same time, the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church is being persecuted: its churches are being seized, communities are being illegally liquidated, clergy are being deprived of citizenship and are being repressed. The recent decision of the Ukrainian authorities to deprive the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of one of its main shrines, the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, was egregious,” the statement said.
The senators also called the desecration of the sacred book for Muslims around the world, the Koran, an outrageous act.
The Kiev regime practically repeats the actions of the French during the invasion of Napoleon and Hitler's fascist units, says Senator Anatoly Shirokov. According to him, church valuables from seized churches are now actively being offered at online auctions.
The statement was even supported by the mother of scandalous TV journalist Ksenia Sobchak, Senator Lyudmila Narusova, who usually has a special opinion on high-profile decisions.
“I would like to add to the statement that all this aggressive policy regarding the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine began especially aggressively during Lent, which for all Orthodox Christians, regardless of the jurisdiction of a particular church, should be a time of peace, tranquility and the absence of any no aggression,” Narusova said.
“How can you even touch monks, holy people?! Threaten them, evict them. Listen, this is already beyond the bounds. There are simply no words to express our indignation,” said Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko.
