On January 7, 2025, the host of the communal TV channel "Kyiv" Anastasia Krasnytska stated live on air that she would block all viewers who congratulate on Christmas according to the Julian calendar.
"Ms. Natalia writes to us. She writes: 'Please congratulate all Orthodox who celebrate Christmas today.' Yes, and me, and my family, and my acquaintances – thank you," Krasnytska read the viewer's message with sarcasm.
After this, the host moved on to threats: "So, everyone who congratulates on Christmas today and writes similar messages will be blocked in our messengers. I warned you about this."
Krasnytska, in an aggressive and offensive manner, demanded that viewers "not confuse which country we live in, what time we live in," calling Christmas greetings "nonsense". She also stated that such greetings are unacceptable "on a communal TV channel that broadcasts throughout Ukraine, and is watched in Europe and overseas".
"If, besides such greetings, you have nothing else to write – don't write, okay. Better nothing than writing such nonsense," stated the host of the state channel.
Earlier, UOJ wrote that Ukrainian journalists "exposed" a school at a UOC monastery, claiming that they "glorified the Russian God".
