Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church needs to make up its mind and bring its documents in line with Ukrainian legislation. He said this in an interview with “Suspilne” when asked about the fate of the UOC in Ukraine.
"We as a state do not fight against any institution. The institution must have a statute registered under the laws and the Constitution of our state and implement it. To carry out orders from Moscow on the territory of our country? - We have no right to allow ourselves such things. This is simply unacceptable," he said.
But, according to the NSDC secretary, there is another problem in the UOC:
"If they bring in line (with Ukrainian legislation, - Ed.) all their relevant documents, if they live by our laws, then there are no big questions to them. Another thing is that a huge number of people who wear these clothes – this is another problem – are directly related to Moscow. They have to make up their minds. Because the number of people who are prosecuted under Article 111 (on high treason - Ed.) is very large in this very environment," added Danilov.
As reported, the NSDC secretary earlier said that if a person is not safe for the country, the law enforcers do not care whether he wears a cassock or Brioni.
