“The far-right fascism in Ukraine, directed against Orthodox Christians, cannot even ignore CNN,” the human rights activist said.

He attached a CNN story about the persecution of priests in Ukraine to the post.

At the same time, he stated that the material still contains a justification for the repressions of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky against the church.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky suspended the Ukrainian citizenship of 13 priests of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

In December, the SBU reported that more than 50 criminal cases had been opened in Ukraine against priests of the UOC.
