An MP from the "Dovira" party, Pavlo Bakunets, called from the Rada's rostrum to vote for bill №8371, which prohibits the activities of religious organizations associated with the aggressor state and essentially aims to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The video of this speech was published by the Rada TV channel.
In his speech, the deputy, a graduate of the Ukrainian Catholic University, quoted Metropolitan Andriy Sheptytsky of the UGCC: "If there is no Ukrainian religion, free from the influence of enemies, then the state-wide affairs will not develop successfully."
Bakunets said that Bill №8371 would help stop the influence on the consciousness of Ukrainians through agents in cassocks.
As reported, on October 19, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada passed in the first reading the government bill №8371, which envisions the prohibition of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
