Parliamentarians from the Servant of the People Party introduced a bill #5143, which provides for criminal liability for religious organizations for cooperation with the aggressor state or non-controlled territories.

One of its initiators, MP Yevgenia Kravchuk, spoke about the draft law on her Fb page.

According to her, the bill "establishes additional legal grounds for the liquidation of political parties, public, charitable or religious organizations."

"Servants of the People" propose to ban those religious organizations that "collaborated with the aggressor state, its occupation administration and/or armed or paramilitary groups."

The text of the bill has not yet been published on the website of the Verkhovna Rada. "Strana.ua" claims to have received the text of the draft, but the editorial board does not directly mention religious organizations.

As the UOJ reported, Poroshenko initiated another bill on the liquidation of religious organizations.
