Ex-Ukrainian MP calls on Congress to stop funding Christian persecution
...philanthropist: 'Satanism is flourishing in Ukraine'

Shalom,
A former Ukrainian parliamentarian and prominent philanthropist is calling on the U.S. Congress to ensure that the financial support it sends to Ukraine isn't enabling the persecution of Christians.
In a May 23 interview on "The Tucker Carlson Show," Vadym Novynskyi, a Russian-born ... businessman, accused the Ukrainian government, led by President Volodymyr Zelensky, of waging a campaign against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The UOC has historic ties to the Moscow Patriarchate but officially severed those ties in May 2022...
UOC is different from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which was officially recognized by most global Orthodox Church leaders in 2019 and is independent of Russian influence.
"Unfortunately, our government, led by Zelensky, has opened up a campaign of persecution and oppression against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the largest church in Ukraine, the largest denomination of Christians in Ukraine," Novynskyi told Carlson.
According to Novynskyi, there were 12,000 parishes and ... believers in the UOC before the war. Despite this, Novynskyi claimed, as many as 97% of Ukrainians "voted for Zelensky as the president of peace," yet "he is doing this to our church. He's persecuting and oppressing our church."
