On July 28, 2023, a bill on banning religious organizations affiliated with an aggressor country, which provides for a ban on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, was removed from the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada, UOJ sources report.
According to our information, the reason for the cancellation of voting on draft law No. 8371 is an insufficient number of votes to make a decision on this issue.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that it became known when the Rada would consider a bill to ban the UOC.
