Ukrainian MP Ihor Huz from the ‘For Future’ party called from the Rada rostrum to vote for the draft law No 8371, which bans the activities of religious organisations affiliated with the aggressor state and is essentially aimed at banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The video of this speech was posted by the Rada TV channel.
Arguing his call, the MP said that whoever does not press the "for" button can consider himself a supporter of Moscow. "There is no other option! The time to stop the activities of Moscow's agents has come," he stressed.
Huz also said that the deputies "together closed Moscow channels, shut down Moscow parties, and now the last stronghold of Moscow here remains – the Russian Church. And everyone here knows it".
As reported, on 19 October 2023, the Verkhovna Rada passed in the first reading the government bill No. 8371, which provides for the ban of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
