Ukraine’s ban of Russian-linked Orthodox Church

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday signed a law barring religious groups with ties to Russia. The bill was signed on the 32nd anniversary of Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union, which included Russia. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church officially broke away from the Moscow patriarchy in 2022. The bill, approved Tuesday 265-29 by Ukraine’s parliament, gives the parishes affected nine months to sever ties with the Russian Orthodox Church. Is the Ukraine president trying to divide and rule along religious lines ?
