On July 20, the Economic Court of the Kyiv region upheld the claim of the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve "Pereyaslav" and ordered the Religious Community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of St. Michael's Parish to vacate St. Michael's Church. An appeal was filed against this decision, which the court did not satisfy.
To recap.
A bill banning religious organizations affiliated with the Russian Federation was adopted in the first reading in Ukraine. The document does not provide for religious restrictions, but rather for the cessation of the negative influence of religious organizations with centers of influence located in the country that is carrying out aggression against Ukraine.
