Violence against clergy and believers, the forces taken over temples, profanations and widespread aggression, which did not miss even the most crucial spiritual shrine in Ukraine, the Kiev Pieczerska Lavra. In April 2023, the Ukrainian police removed monks and faithful to the only canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Patriarchate of Moscow), and the monastery's ruler, the Metropolitan of Paul, was placed under home arrest outside the capital.
The beneficiary of the action became appointed by the erstwhile president, Petra Poroshenko Non-Canonical Orthodox Church of Ukraine, for which the American support obtained the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
On July 22, 2023, the Center for Geostrategic Studies organised an global conference in Vienna on spiritual persecution in Ukraine. As stated in the beginning speech Patrick Poppel, Austrian expert of the Centre, the intent of the gathering was to familiarize the spiritual groups, as well as human rights defenders, with the state of violation of spiritual rights and persecution of clergy and followers of Ukrainian Orthodoxy.
West Dechristianization Action
The anti-Christian action in Ukraine fits into the broader context of spiritual persecution experienced by believers around the world," he pointed out Anton Eggendorfer, Austrian theologian and spiritual scholar. As he pointed out, not accidentally repressive policies are implemented by regimes supported by Western centres of power, as we know from the mediate East. Prof. Dan Kovalik, who compared the actions of the Ukrainian army, attacking and destroying churches and monasteries, to akin actions supported by the West of jihadists in Syria (where Hezbollah, among others, acted in the defence of Christians). – We are already dealing with a global war against history, culture and tradition, and its manifestations in Ukraine are already marked by genocide, not only against the Russian-speaking cultural group, but besides against the rightful Orthodox believers – stressed Prof. Kovalik.
Burnt churches of Kosovo and Methochia
As the protojer added Slađan Vasić The Kiev authorities committed an overt usurpation, seeking the liquidation of the only canonical church and promoting in return a full controlled political organization, established only for a spiritual union. – If we're talking about the legal aspect, Ukraine breaks its own constitution and laws due to the fact that it is committed to ensuring spiritual freedom in the country. Ukraine besides violates the European Convention on Human Rights, even though it aspires to EU membership – he had no uncertainty about the finish. Arnaud Devaley, lawyer, French expert in global law. According to Dragany Trifković, manager of the Center for Geostrategic Studies, the Ukrainian conflict forms part of a historical and geopolitical sequence, and the attack on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church brings associations with earlier attempts to decompose the Orthodox Church in Serbia and throughout the erstwhile Yugoslavia. – In all these activities, we can easy admit the interests of globalistic centres of power, which control NATO, among others. Ukrainian authorities, under the direct management of Washington, brutally effort to confiscate the property of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, terrorize the clergy and the faithful. The U.S. has consistently tried to deepen the schism throughout the Orthodox world, and the patriarch Bartholomew is helping them to do so. As an example of the demolition of Orthodoxy by globalist centres of power, the destiny of more than 150 Serbian medieval churches and monasteries in Kosovo and Methochia, which have been destroyed by Albanian terrorists since control of this part of Serbia took over NATO – reminded Trifković.
Celebration of Bandera
Daniele Perra, a geopolitical analyst of the Italian magazine “Eurasia” noted that there are many aspects of Ukrainian conflict completely ignored by the West. – When I talk about the West, I don't mean geographically, but ideologically. The full West is under the hegemony of the United States and is simply a space where there is no place for anything sacred. I believe that the origin of the conflict in Ukraine is linked to westernization, in which tolerance is just a mask hiding deep forms of cultural racism. present Europe is periphery, the West has been conquered not only militarily by the Far West, but besides metaphysically. This is besides the case in Ukraine, but we have seen this in Serbia before, which is separated from its metaphysical core, Kosovo and Methochia. The West actually supports the drug-crime state, artificially created in the Balkans, a place that is 1 of the spiritual centers of Orthodoxy. The same happens in Ukraine, where the actual Ukrainian Orthodox Church is constantly raped in order to guarantee the dominance of the alleged Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which is again only the creation of the West created for US dollars – concluded Perra. He pointed out that the best symbol of the full process is the church in Tarnopol, blessed by the head of the KPU, on whose walls portraits were hung StiepanFlags and symbols of the Azov Battalion.
On the Conversion of Ukraine
It is essential to proceed the information campaign, alerting global human rights groups and organizing aid for persecuted Ukrainian Christians – the conference participants acknowledged. Unfortunately, the authorities in Kiev effectively censor and restrict access to independent media, including the taken-over temples, besides effort to hide war crimes and the demolition of Orthodox cultural assets that the Kiev troops and volunteer battalions do during operations in the back of the front. Today's Ukraine, on behalf of the ungodly, anti-religious West, is so at war with the Lord God himself, and thus clearly defines its own place in a conflict with not only a geopolitical dimension but besides an eschatological dimension. May, then, as shortly as possible, the unfortunate Ukrainians under specified force come to repentance and conversion.
