Ministry of Culture tries to put pressure on the Church, – political expert
“By this statement the Ministry of Culture demonstrates it is not doing what it is supposed to; moreover, under the Constitution the Church is separated from the state. This is the first point. The second is that it is the right of each citizen of Ukraine to recognize whatever aggression toward their state. The third point is that the Ministry of Culture should address cultural, rather than religious, issues.”
The statement of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine also contains an urge to the law enforcement authorities “to give a legal evaluation of anti-Ukrainian actions and rhetoric of some representatives of the clergy and top hierarchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.”
