Expert: Attacks of MinCulture on Church – a tool for destruction of Ukraine
Director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management Ruslan Bortnik
The Ministry of Culture decided to choose a venue for its retreat, which is suitable for information attacks on the UOC. This was said by the director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management Ruslan Bortnik to the "First Cossack" channel.
"In parallel with those bills that are submitted to Parliament, in parallel with the statements of our politicians, we can truly state a full-fledged attack on the part of the state, first of all, on the Church. This is an element of the destruction of Ukraine, as the Church and volunteers are the two binding elements of the institution of society," the expert said.
Recall, the expert council of the Department for Religions and Nationalities of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine planned to hold a retreat session in Zaporozhye at the end of April. Director of the Department Andrey Yurash explained this by saying that "the Zaporozhye eparchy of the UOC (MP) is now the most problematic in Ukraine".
