'Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced he is seeking to ban all religions with ties to Russia under a new law. He claims the move is needed to “guarantee spiritual independence to Ukraine.”
The measure will target millions of Ukrainians who identify as Russian Orthodox.
During his nightly address on Thursday, Zelensky announced he was introducing legislation that would eliminate religious organizations affiliated with Russia from operating in Ukraine. He said this will make “it impossible for religious organizations affiliated with centers of influence in the Russian Federation to operate in Ukraine.”
The Ukrainian leader said it was necessary to purge the church to preserve the country’s spiritual independence, adding “We will never allow anyone to build an empire inside the Ukrainian soul.” Zelensky denounced Ukrainians continuing to attend the parishes as failing to overcome “the temptation of evil.”'

So much for religious freedom in Ukraine.
Once again, I am 100% against Russia invading Ukraine proper.

This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

The Ukrainian Orthodox church is exactly the same religion, same theology, same liturgy as the Russian Orthodox church. Anyone of the Eastern Orthodox faith is not going to lose anything going to a Ukranian Orthodox church. Cutting ties with the Moscow Patriarch is an administrative and eclesiastical issue
I attend the Orthodox Church of America and lose nothing by not having an administrative and eclesiastical affiliation with the Patriarch of Moscow.

There is no effect on the Orthodox religion as a faith practice in Ukraine.
There are two types of Eastern Orthodox churches in Ukraine. The one that is independent, which most people attend. And the one that is theoretically subservient to the Moscow Patriarch.
Cutting ties with the Moscow Patriarch does not change the practice of Eastern Orthodoxy in Ukraine, and you can't blame them since Patriarch Kirill is a fan of invading Ukraine
