DESS publishes a list of RF-affiliated religious organizations
The list includes the Kyiv Metropolia of the UOC and the Korets Convent.
On 17 November 2025, the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience (DESS) published a list of approved religious organizations allegedly affiliated with a foreign religious organization whose activities are prohibited on the territory of Ukraine.
Officials included in this list the Kyiv Metropolia of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which had been declared affiliated on 8 July, as well as the Korets Holy Trinity Women’s Stavropegial Monastery, whose alleged affiliation was announced by DESS on 21 October.
The corresponding order, signed by V. Yelensky, was published on the website.
As the UOJ previously reported, the court refused DESS’s request to block the property of the Kyiv Metropolia of the UOC.
