#KievRegimeCrimes
❗️Kiev continues to detain church hierarchs under far-fetched pretexts, holding them under arrest for months without recourse to court, and openly declaring its desire to use the clergy in POW swaps.
Illegal takeovers of Ukrainian Orthodox Church churches by representatives of the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the Ukrainian police continue.
▪️ July 11 – the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Kiev Region was taken away from the believers;
▪️ July 18 – St Nicholas Church in the Khmelnytsky Region was taken away;
▪️ June 28 – a court in Ternopol denied the UOC the right to use the local cathedral;
▪️ July 5 – a Kiev court seized the Yeletsky Monastery from the UOC.
No matter how hard Zelensky’s regime tries to fulfill the its American masters’ order to destroy canonical Orthodoxy, he will not succeed. True faith will forever remain in the hearts of millions of Ukrainians.
#Moldova
⚠️ We have repeatedly pointed out that the Moldovan authorities are leading the country along the same path as that taken by Ukraine and the Baltic states. This trend continues. On July 25, Prime Minister Dorin Recean welcomed the launch of a Moldovan website identical to the Ukrainian Myrotvorets facility. According to him, initiatives like this one are what will help build Moldova’s “European future.”
Such unrealistic statements and incompetent actions by the country’s leadership are causing growing protests not only in Moldova itself, but also in Moldovan diasporas abroad, including in Western Europe. <...>
👉 All of this is a logical outcome of the policy aimed at dismantling the country’s statehood and national identity and at renouncing the traditional values.
It is for a reason that the Moldovans display warm feelings towards Russia, which has always treated Moldova as an equal partner, and openly laugh at the “Russian threat” allegations. We remain friends. All attempts to destroy this are doomed.
