RF’s Security Council speaks about plans to “de-Satanize” Ukraine
Alexey Pavlov, Assistant Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, spoke about the growing need to free Ukraine from the influence of destructive religious sects. He said this in an interview with the Arguments and Facts newspaper.
“I believe that with the continuation of the special military operation, it becomes even more urgent to carry out the de-Satanization of Ukraine, or, as the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov aptly put it, its “complete deshaitanization,” Pavlov said.
The official also said that the number of adherents of religious sects has been growing in Ukraine since the 1990s, while the coup in Kyiv in 2014 became a powerful impetus for this.
“Planted by Washington in positions of power, the executors carried out the tasks that poured in from across the ocean. One of them is to reformat the minds of Ukrainian citizens, to force them to abandon centuries-old traditions, to ban the real values associated with the Orthodox faith, Islam and Judaism. Using network manipulations and psychotechnologies, the new authorities have turned Ukraine from a state into a totalitarian hypersect,” the expert noted.
According to him, the exact number of sects in Ukraine is unknown, but the number is in the hundreds.
As reported by the UOJ, the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that Muslims in Ukraine are fighting Satanism, protecting religious values.
