For the past few years, Americans have sadly gotten accustomed to our tax dollars being spent to persecute canonical Orthodox Christians in Ukraine. Since 2022, the Ukrainian government has used Russia’s “special military operation” as an excuse to intensify its persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which it has forcibly rebranded as the “Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.” Hundreds of church buildings have been seized by police officers and so-called “raiders” acting on the Zelensky Administration’s orders. Bishops have been imprisoned. Priests have been dragged out into the streets and beaten nearly to death. Liturgies and funerals have been disrupted by mobs. Monks are being evicted from their monasteries, with these historic properties being handed over to the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
