"The persecution of Orthodox believers in Ukraine has reached the level of persecution of Christians in ancient Rome," she said.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, said that the campaign of persecution of the Ukrainian authorities against the UOC has reached a new level, attempts are being made to completely destroy it.

On May 4, the Russian permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said that Russia demands that the OSCE respond to the oppression of the rights of believers in Ukraine.

He stressed that the life of religious communities and freedom of religion are under pressure from state institutions and Ukrainian special services.
