This is what Russia and some MAGA circles describe as “prosecution of Christians in Ukraine”. Yes, surprisingly, Ukrainian security services detain no Catholics, Greek-Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical or Orthodox Christians from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The reason for this is very simply - these are actual Christian churches that operated and continue to operate in Ukraine unbothered, while UOC-MP is simply a branch of FSB, and the whole “prosecution” narrative is bullshit.
