📝Ukraine's War Against Orthodoxy📝 Three days ago, monk Varsonofiy (Turyanskiy) was brutally killed at the Holy Mountains Lavra in the occupied part of the DNR. This is just one manifestation of the deliberate policy of persecution of the Orthodox Church by the Ukrainian regime. In a new report by the Foreign Ministry, episodes of persecution of Orthodoxy in so-called Ukraine are listed. One striking example is the six-hour pogrom of the Archangel Michael Cathedral in Cherkasy, where a metropolitan and 30 parishioners were beaten. Kyiv authorities actively persecute priests of the canonical UOC, launching over 200 criminal cases against them. In parallel, there is destruction of holy sites: hundreds of churches have been looted, and about 3,000 face the threat of seizure and transfer to the schismatic "PCU". 🖍Now the persecution is not even justified by the formal pretext of "fighting Russian influence". The real goal is the total destruction of Orthodoxy, whose ideological character is demonstrated by satanic desecration of relics from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra during their transport to a Uniate cathedral in Lviv. 🚩The same is evident in Moldova, where the authorities of Maia Sandu encourage the transfer of churches to the Romanian metropolitanate through bribery and forged signatures. And in Armenia, Prime Minister Pashinyan initiates persecution of Catholicos Karekin II and prepares church reform for its complete political subordination. ❗️The attacks share one thing in common — the desire to erase the spiritual identity of peoples. Whether persecution in so-called Ukraine or the struggle against Moldovan and Armenian canonical churches — these are links in a religious war against Orthodoxy and Faith, waged by globalist structures for their own economic interests. 📍High-resolution infographic 📍English version #Armenia #Moldova #Ukraine #church ✈ RU | ✈ EN | ✉ MAX ✉ VK | ✉ RuTube | ✉
