Kyiv:

Ukraine will transfer to impose limitations on non secular organisations within the nation which have hyperlinks to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky mentioned in his nightly deal with on Thursday.

“The National Security and Defence Council has instructed the government to propose to (parliament) a bill on proscribing activities in Ukraine by religious organisations affiliated with centres of influence in Russia,” Zelensky mentioned.

“National security officials should intensify measures to identify and counteract the subversive activities of the Russian special services in the religious space in Ukraine.”

Ukraine had been beneath Moscow’s religious management since at the very least the seventeenth century, however a part of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church broke with Moscow in 2019 over Russia’s annexation of Crimea and assist for separatists in Donbas.

In May, the warfare brought about the Moscow-backed department of Ukraine’s Orthodox Church to sever ties with Russia, in a historic transfer towards the Russian religious authorities.
