KYIV (Reuters) – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has signed a law banning Moscow-linked religious organisations, the parliament website said on Saturday.
The bill approved by parliament earlier this month created the legal tools for the government to ban activities of a Russia-linked branch of the Orthodox church and paved the way for a historic rupture with an institution that Kyiv has accused of complicity in Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
