Political analyst Kostiantyn Bondarenko stated during blogger Alexander Shelest's broadcast that the issue of persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will be actively raised in the United States, and Ukrainian authorities will have to answer for it.

According to him, now, besides Anna Paulina Luna, who has been actively advocating for the defense of the UOC recently, there is already a group of congressmen and senators ready to speak in support of the Church.

Bondarenko emphasized that the issue of UOC persecution will be raised even more actively in the USA.

"I think Zelensky will have to answer for this. And not only Zelensky – everyone involved in the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will have to answer. And they will have to answer not so much before the Ukrainian people – as I have said, they are not afraid of that – but before the United States. And there, very tough sanctions on this issue are possible,” the expert emphasized.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that a congresswoman appealed to the Vatican over UOC persecution.
