MOSCOW, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Russia on Tuesday condemned a move by Ukraine to ban a Moscow-linked branch of the Orthodox Church, describing it as an attack on Christianity and a blow to freedom of religion.
^ Which is a load of BS. Ukrainians are still free to worship at the IOC. Fuck russian spies hiding behind religion for credibility.
I don’t know the specifics here but usually this means they are not allowed to practice anymore. If they had any sort of state exemptions or privileges they’d be gone as well of course. I don’t think they can legally arrest them unless they circumvent the ban.
