Donald Trump Jr., the son of the former US president, criticized Volodymyr Zelensky on his Instagram page. He called Zelensky a dictator for his desire to 'shut down churches' and his unwillingness to hold elections.

“Wants to shut down churches won’t hold elections… sounds like… what’s the word I’m looking for here??? Oh yea, A DICTATOR to me,' Trump wrote.

As earlier reported, American journalist Tucker Carlson referred to attempts by the authorities to ban the UOC as 'an absolute disgrace'.
