British mercenaries in Ukraine face death penalty

 

A criminal case against the foreign fighters has been sent to court

Three suspected mercenaries from Britain and Morocco, who joined the Ukrainian military and were later captured by the forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), could be facing the death penalty there, the republic’s General Prosecutor’s Office said on Friday.

 

Viktor Gavrilov, the judiciary spokesman, revealed that an investigation into the activities of “a group of foreign mercenaries” who allegedly “took part in the preparation and implementation of hostilities against the DPR,” had been completed and a criminal case had been “fully formed.”

 

“The materials of the case have been transferred to one of the republic’s courts for consideration which could result, taking wartime into account, in the application of capital punishment – the death penalty – to the accused,” Gavrilov told journalists.

 

The Prosecutor General’s Office specified that the investigation had confirmed that Brits Shaun Pinner and Andrew Hill, along with Moroccan Ibrahim Saadoun, were involved in crimes under three articles of the DPR Criminal Code: the “commission of crimes by a group of persons,” the “forcible seizure of power or forcible retention of power,” and “mercenarism.”

 

According to the DPR Criminal Code, mercenarism, which is internationally considered a crime, can be punished by imprisonment for three to seven years, and the forcible seizure of power – from 12 to 20 years. Aggravating circumstances or wartime could lead to the death penalty.

 

Russian military spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said earlier that the best thing the foreign mercenaries could expect was a “long term in prison.”

 

Pinner and another alleged British mercenary, Aiden Aslin, have called on UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to facilitate their exchange for one of the Ukrainian opposition leaders, Victor Medvedchuk, who had been detained by Ukrainian forces. London, however, has apparently limited itself to calling Pinner and Aslin “prisoners of war,” rather than “mercenaries,” and said they should be treated accordingly.

 

In early May, Andrew Hill published a video in which he said that after coming to Ukraine he realized “it was hell” there. He also claimed that the foreign mercenaries he was fighting with were “really bad people and sadists.”

 

“I understand everything has been done wrong and I hope for leniency from the Donetsk People’s Republic,” he said.

Ukrainian ex-president attempts to leave for Poland

 

Former president of Ukraine was spotted on the border with Poland, allegedly attempting to leave while facing treason charges

Former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko tried to cross the border into Poland on Friday, Ukrainian media reported citing the state customs service sources. Volodymyr Zelensky’s predecessor is currently facing treason charges in Kiev.

 

Poroshenko showed up at the Rava-Ruska crossing, west of Lvov, in his Range Rover SUV on Friday evening, Ukrainian National News (UNN) and Ukrainskaya Pravda said, citing sources at the State Customs Service of Ukraine. The border guards stationed there reportedly did not want to take responsibility for deciding whether to let him leave the country. However, there was no official confirmation from the border service.

 

Photos posted on Telegram showed someone looking like Poroshenko talking with several customs agents.

 

“This is a political order that looks disgusting,”Ukrainian politician Irina Gerashchenko wroteon Telegram, noting that Poroshenko was prevented from leaving the country even though he had a valid travel letter from the parliament to attend the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Lithuania.

Poroshenko is technically still a member of the Ukrainian parliament. In December 2021, the current government charged him with treasonin the alleged scheme to buy coal from the Donbass separatists in 2014-15. He traveled to Turkey as the charges were announced, but made a show of returning to Kiev in January. A court then refused the government’s request to put him in jail, or even under house arrest.

 

Known as the “Chocolate King,” thanks to his ownership of the candy giant Roshen, Poroshenko had accumulated a substantial business empire in Ukraine during the 1990s, including shipyards and a TV channel. The TV channel, he would later tell the Washington Post, played a key role in the February 2014 Maidan uprising that ousted the elected President Viktor Yanukovich.

 

Poroshenko, who previously did brief stints as trade and foreign minister under governments led by politicians from western Ukraine, found himself the establishment candidate in the May 2014 presidential election. As president, he led the “anti-terrorist operation” to crush the Donbass separatists by force in the summer of 2014 and again in early 2015. Both attempts ended in disaster for the Ukrainian military, with Kiev agreeing to a ceasefire mediated in Minsk. Beset by scandals, Poroshenko lost the 2019 re-election bid in a landslide to Zelensky, who ran on a peace platform.

Biden appears to confuse North and South Korea(VIDEO)

(Kekkity, I bef Kim got a kick out of that)

The US president mistakenly claimed that North Korea supported Washington in imposing sanctions on Russia

 

US President Joe Biden added to his list of gaffes on Friday by apparently confusing the two Korean states.

 

Speaking at the Naval Academy's graduation ceremony in Annapolis, Maryland, Biden discussed the importance of US cooperation with allies for the sake of global security. As an example of such cooperation, he mentioned the sanctions imposed by Western countries on Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine.

 

“Did anyone think that when I called for sanctions against Russia, in addition to NATO, that Australia, Japan, North Korea, some of the ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] countries would stand up and support those sanctions?” the US leader asked.

 

However, North Korea, itself heavily sanctioned by Washington, was actually one of five countries to vote in early March against a UN resolution condemning the Russian military offensive in Ukraine.

 

Pyongyang even accused the “hegemonic policy” of the US of fueling the conflict.

 

On Thursday, meanwhile, Russia and China used their vetoes to block a US-drafted UN Security Council resolution aimed at strengthening international sanctions on North Korea. The countries had not vetoed any of the previous North Korea sanctions packages implemented since 2006.

 

Last month, Biden was mocked online for beingwhisked away by a person in a bunny suit while talking to a reporter. On another occasion, during a visit to North Carolina, Biden extended his hand at the end of a speech in a manner that some observers described as “shaking hands with thin air.” ‘Fact-checking’ website PolitiFact, however, argued that Biden was merely “gesturing towards the audience.”

EXCLUSIVE:Uvalde Police Officers Receiving Death Threats After Texas School Shooting

 

Multiple law enforcement sources from separate agencies tell Breitbart Texas that Uvalde-area police officers are receiving death threats following the Robb Elementary School shooting that left 21 people dead.

 

Officers from separate, highly-placed law enforcement agencies report that officers are receiving death threats as news media stoke the narrative that first responders waited too long to engage the Robb Elementary School shooter. Police continue the process of investigating and reporting the timeline of events throughout the campus.

 

In the absence of a formal release of all the details, many media outlets may be fueling the threats, one source argues.

 

The threats put officers and their families’ lives at risk, one source told Breitbart. The threats also distract officers from their investigative and typical duties.

 

Several law enforcement officers who responded to the shooting were parents of students at the school, other sources stated. One officer’s child did not survive while the parent was unable to make entry.

 

“Our officers had their own children in the building — one of whom was killed,” a local law enforcement official stated. “We wanted to end this as badly as anyone else. To think that we would stand around and let children die by choice is unconscionable for our officers right now during their time of mourning.”

 

One senior law enforcement source in Uvalde confirmed that the threats have been received by multiple law enforcement agencies who participated in the response to the shooting.

 

“The investigation has not been completed and there are many facts that have not been released that will provide clarification to questions the community may have, the guessing by uninvolved parties is frustrating and may be prompting these threats,” one law enforcement source told Breitbart Texas.

 

Multiple law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that part of the delay in stopping the barricaded elementary school shooter hinged on a deadly mix of the shooter’s defensive tactics and the lack of needed tactical gear. Specifically, officers lacked the ballistic shield needed to enter the classroom with the barricaded shooter. Attempting to breach the door without a ballistic shield would have resulted in certain death for the officers and provides the shooter with the officers’ weapons and ammunition. There is also the possibility that the shooter could have taken communications gear off of the officers’ bodies, thereby giving the shooter the ability to listen in real time on police response plans.

 

Even with the shield, as reported by Breitbart Texas, one of the Border Patrol agents who rushed the shooter still suffered a grazing gunshot wound to the head. The law enforcement team did not wait for personal body armor before breaching.

 

“If the subject can effectively take out an officer, he gains one more weapon, more loaded magazines, and law enforcement communications are instantly compromised allowing the suspect to know what the next plan of attack is,” one source explained.

 

(I find this statement is moot when there were so many officers there)

‘No One Better’:White House Tasks Susan Rice with Gun Control Effort

Charlie Spiering27 May 2022

 

Yippe Rice a ghost for Obama will blast the airwaves with propaganda!

 

President Joe Biden is putting Domestic Policy Adviser Susan Rice in charge of the administration’s gun control efforts, the White House said Thursday.

 

“She is coordinating the President’s whole-of-government approach to reducing gun violence,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during the daily briefing.

 

Jean-Pierre cited Rice’s “decades of experience” in the federal government as making her qualified to handle the issue.

 

She did not mention Rice’s role in the Obama administration’s disastrous response to the attacks on the Benghazi consulate in Libya in 2012 that left four Americans dead or her role in defending Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s service record.

 

Instead, Jean-Pierre said there was “no one better” than Rice to handle the issue.

 

“She has decades of experience coordinating interagency processes in the federal government,” she said. “There is no one better at bringing department heads to the table to drive the process.”

 

Jean-Pierre spoke about Rice as reporters repeatedly questioned the White House about whether President Biden would appoint a “czar of gun things” to find more executive actions the president could take on gun control issues.

 

“We have a whole-of-government approach that I just mentioned, that Ambassador Susan Rice is leading, along with other departments,” she said.

 

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) reacted to the news on social media.

 

“The architect of the Benghazi cover-up?” He asked. “I can’t think of anyone worse.”

Exclusive: •=Text Messages Reveal Rep. Nancy Mace Trashing Trump Following January 6==

 

(Well, her name is mace for nothing)

 

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (SC), who claims to still support the policies of former President Donald Trump while in a heated primary battle, trashed him during a text message exchange with a former supporter following last year’s January 6 riot.

 

In the messages obtained by Breitbart News, Mace said she “will never forgive” the former president following the January 6 riot while also claiming that her “life was threatened because of the words and actions of the President.”

 

“My life was threatened because of the words and actions of the President. Words have consequences,” Mace texted a former supporter, who leaked the messages to Breitbart News. “I cannot explain or excuse the violent attack on our Capitol… I had to walk through a crime scene to vote last night,” Mace continued.

 

“Unacceptable. Indefensible,” she added, while blaming some of her fellow Republican lawmakers for the events that happened in January 2021, the text messages revealed.

 

She wrote that the riot occurred “because of the rhetoric [Trump] and some of my Republican colleagues were using in the days leading up to this event.”

 

However, what the congresswoman conveyed in her private conversations differ from the public remarks she made at the time — which never went as far as the language used in the text messages.

 

The congresswoman, who was backed by Trump in 2020 when she successfully unseated Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-SC), publicly turned on the former president days after the riot.

 

During an appearance on MSNBC’s Meet the Press, she used the line about walking through a crime scene to vote and how it was “enormously disappointing” to see her party’s leadership and almost 150 of her Republican colleagues vote to still not certify the election, as a freshman member.

 

Her public remarks drew the ire of Trump, who called her a “sellout,” in the days after.

 

Despite all of this, in February 2022, Mace seemed to pull a 180 as she traveled to New York City to stand outside Trump Tower on Fifth Ave to record a campaign video about her support for the former president — the same person she claimed “threatened her life” a year earlier, and whom she said she would “never forgive.”

 

Trump threw his support behind Mace’s primary challenger, Katie Arrington, in the wake of her comments and as many Republicans in her district turned on her.

 

And in April 2022, amid a heated primary battle, Trump-backed Arrington called out Mace for being a hypocrite for trying to tout the former president’s border and vaccine policies in a campaign ad looking to score points with his base before the primary.

 

In response to the ad, Arrington campaign spokesman Chris D’Anna thanked the congresswoman for emphasizing her hypocrisy in a statement to Breitbart News.

 

“Nancy Mace’s new ad goes to show just how much the D.C. swamp has control of her,” D’Anna said. “She must think voters are either stupid or have short memories because not long ago, she famously appeared on Fox and CNN on the same day, hours apart and wearing the same outfit, to spew two different answers on COVID vaccines.”

 

“Politicians are gonna ‘politician,’ but the voters of the low country know a self-serving sellout when they see one,” D’Anna added, pointing to last year when Mace also flip-flopped on live TV.

Brazil’s Bolsonaro Says Biden Ignored Everyone at G-20 Summit: ‘I Don’t Know if It’s His Age’

Frances Martel27 May 2022

 

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro confirmed Thursday that he would travel to Los Angeles in June for the Summit of the Americas and said he planned to meet American counterpart Joe Biden in person, adding that Biden treated him “as if I didn’t exist” during their last meeting, blaming the snub on “age.”

 

Reports had previously indicated that Bolsonaro – a staunch conservative whom Biden has repeatedly antagonized, including with a threat to destroy the Brazilian economy during a presidential debate in 2020 – would not attend the Summit due to unclear reasons. Many speculated that Biden’s poor diplomacy with Bolsonaro was a contributing factor.

 

The Summit, scheduled to take place the week of June 6, is the first of its kind since 2018 and intends to bring together members of the Organization of American States (OAS). Independent of a potential boycott by Brazil, South America’s largest economy, the leaders of several leftist Latin American countries are threatening to boycott the event if Biden does not invite Cuba to the summit.

 

The OAS Charter requires member states to be democracies, and Cuba never attended a Summit before President Barack Obama insisted on extending an invitation. Cuba used its appearances at the 2015 and 2018 Summits of the Americas to organize violent mobs to shut down discussions on promoting democracy.

 

Bolsonaro is one of the loudest opponents of the Cuban regime and communism in general in the region; no reports indicated that his potential absence from the upcoming event was related to potential boycotts by leftist nations.

 

Bolsonaro told reporters on Thursday that Biden had sent “a person especially to talk to me” – apparently referring to former senator and current White House special adviser on the summit Chris Dodd – about attending, and that he had agreed to do so.

 

“He sent someone especially to talk to me and I put my cards on the table there,” Bolsonaro said. “Itamaraty [the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry] personnel were there, [Foreign Minister] Carlos França, I spoke about the change in the United States’ behavior towards Brazil when Biden took over.”

 

“With Trump, everything was very good,” Bolsonaro continued. “We had a lot of things planned to do for Brazil, adding value to Brazil … when Biden came in, there was simply a freezing [of relations]. On my part, I didn’t change policies with him.”

 

Bolsonaro then added that he would meet Biden for a bilateral exchange during his upcoming time in the United States and recalled his last encounter.

 

“I met with him at the G-20 [summit in October] and he passed me by as if I didn’t exist,” Bolsonaro said, “but that is how he treated everyone, I don’t know if it’s his age.”

 

Bolsonaro added that he was not going to America “to smile, shake hands, and appear in a photo – I am going to solve problems.”

 

“I was inclined to not go. I can’t go, given Brazil’s size, just to be a frame in a picture,” he concluded.

 

The American embassy in Brasilia confirmed on Wednesday that Dodd, Biden’s representative, had met with Bolsonaro, publishing a statement from Dodd himself.

 

“President Joe Biden asked me to travel to Brazil today with a singular focus on the Summit,” Dodd wrote. “I came to reinforce our longstanding appreciation for the deep and consequential partnership that our two countries share, built on a common foundation of democracy, human rights, economic prosperity, the rule of law, and security.”

Scientific Journal Goes Woke with Editorial Calling for Gender Identity in Study Proposals

Penny Starr27 May 2022

 

Their new motto is: “Don’t Trust Science, Science is Dead!”

 

The long-respected scientific journal Nature appears to be going woke, according to an editorial on its website titled, “Nature journals raise the bar on sex and gender reporting in research: Authors will be prompted to provide details on how sex and gender were considered in study design.”

 

The editorial notes that some journals have already “encouraged” reporting on sex and gender “for years” but cited insufficient reporting of data on both sex and gender — as if the two are different.

 

The editorial says, in part:

 

To remedy this, from now on, researchers who submit papers to a subset of Nature Portfolio journals will be prompted to state whether and how sex and gender were considered in their study design, or to indicate that no sex and gender analyses were carried out, and clarify why. They should note in the title and/or abstract if findings apply to only one sex or gender.

 

Under the subheading “Accounting for sex and gender makes for better science,” the editorial continues:

 

They will also be asked to provide data disaggregated by sex and gender where this information has been collected, and informed consent for reporting and sharing individual-level data has been obtained. The changes apply to studies with human participants, on other vertebrates or on cell lines, in which sex and gender is an appropriate consideration.

 

In addition, from 1 June, four journals — Nature Cancer, Nature Communications, Nature Medicine and Nature Metabolism — will be raising awareness of the updated recommendations in letters to authors and reviewers during peer review. The aim here is to improve understanding of the degree to which sex and gender reporting is already part of study design, data collection and analysis in the research these journals publish. The journals will also evaluate author and reviewer reception of the changes so that we can iterate on them as we learn through experience.

 

The editorial cites studies on drugs and even concedes to the gender identity activists’ narrative when saying those studies have different impacts on women and men — “we recognize that not everyone fits into these categories.”

 

But Debra Soh, a sex neuroscientist, the host of The Dr. Debra Soh Podcast, and the author of The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths About Sex and Identity in Our Society, wrote in an oped how ludicrous Nature’s stance really is:

 

Nature stated that studies should acknowledge both sex and gender, defining sex as a “biological attribute” and gender as “socially constructed.” However, sex and gender are both biological. Transgender people, as well as some intersex people, identify more with the opposite sex than their birth sex, but this difference is attributable to biological influences, such as hormonal exposure in the prenatal environment. If gender was a social construct, why couldn’t transgender people be persuaded to be comfortable in their birth sex?

 

Being receptive to the concerns of minority communities is, of course, a worthwhile endeavor, but rewriting science to acknowledge 0.8% of the population frankly doesn’t make sense. As well, activists’ ideological separation of gender from sex is precisely what is eating away at scientific discovery to begin with.

 

If gender is completely detached from sex, then anyone can be a woman. This freedom to self-identify however one pleases has led to a false amnesia about what a woman is. As we’ve seen, there is no end to the absurdity as women’s sports are being destroyed, a rise in violent and sexual crime is being attributed to women due to male offenders identifying as female, and dehumanizing language such as “chest-feeding” and “frontal birth” is being normalized.

 

Soh concluded by saying she was “saddened” by academia being “debased” by putting “threats and deceit” over “knowledge and understanding,” and that once the public trust in science is lost it cannot be gained again.

Exclusive –Rep. Chip Roy Bill Would Block Federal Retirement Plans from Investing in ESG Climate Scam Funds

Sean Moran27 May 2022

 

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) proposed legislation Friday that would block federal retirement plans from joining ESG ‘scam’ investing, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

 

Roy and other House Republicans introduced the No ESG at TSP Act, which would prevent federal workers who qualify for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) retirement plan to invest in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing products.

 

ESG investing has served as leftists’ latest campaign to push investing towards the climate change industry and away from the fossil fuel industry. ESG investing pushes companies to invest based on criteria relating to racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, union status, board members, or whether a company is involved in the firearms industry. It also considers a company’s political affiliation.

 

Roy told Breitbart News TSP allowing ESG investing would enable the federal government to weaken America’s energy resilience and further woke policies.

 

“ESG investing is a woke scam. It restricts the free flow of capital, undermines U.S. energy freedom to the benefit of our enemies, and advances woke racial and gender ideologies intent on dividing the republic,” Roy explained. “The upcoming changes to TSP would allow billions of taxpayer dollars to serve these ends. The federal government shouldn’t have any part in this radical nonsense, and especially shouldn’t be using your money to do it.”

 

Reps. Bob Good (R-VA), Bill Johnson (R-OH), Michael Cloud (R-TX), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Ted Budd (R-NC), Mary Miller (R-IL), and Bill Posey (R-FL) cosponsored the legislation.

 

The Texas conservative has moved to propose the legislation as TSPO intends to enable ESG investing by allowing 5,000 mutual funds through a new “mutual fund window” which will include ESG funds. TSP manages roughly $817 billion in assets, making it the largest defined plan in the world. Opening TSP to ESG investing would allow for billions of taxpayer dollars, since federal workers’ investments are often matched by agencies, to be allocated to woke companies that comply with ESG criteria.

 

Roy’s legislation would stop this by:

Blocking TSP from offering mutual funds, or related investment vehicles, that invest based on ESG criteria

Preventing TSP from offering funds marketed as ESG funds

As Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney wrote, ESG is “cancel culture for fossil fuels.” This has led to lower oil rig production as oil has reached over $100 per barrel:

 

These funds shun fossil fuel investing. According to Deloitte’s Center for Financial Services, professionally managed assets with ESG mandates swelled to $46 trillion globally in 2021, representing nearly 40 percent of all assets under management. The result of this is that it has become incredibly hard to raise funds for expanding fossil fuel production. So even oil prices above $100 a barrel are not attracting capital into the sector.

 

“In a recent episode of Bloomberg’s Odd Lots Podcast, Goldman Sachs’ top commodities strategist describes ESG investing as “a blunt instrument that is reducing capital flows into a very critical sector,” Carney added.

More than 99 percent of illegal aliens enlisted in President Joe Biden’s “Dedicated Dockets” program in Los Angeles, California, are found to have invalid claims for asylum and are subsequently ordered deported, new data reveals.

 

In May 2021, the Biden administration started the Dedicated Dockets program as a fast-track asylum process that promises to get border crossers through federal immigration courts within 300 days.

 

Data from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Center for Immigration Law and Policy reveals that in the city’s Dedicated Dockets program, just one percent of border crossers are found to have valid claims for asylum.

 

Meanwhile, more than 99 percent of illegal aliens are found not to have valid asylum claims and thus are being ordered deported from the United States. More than 72 percent of illegal aliens ordered deported had failed to show up for their asylum hearings.

 

The bombshell data comes as the Biden administration has deployed an expansive Catch and Release network where more than 954,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have been released into the U.S. interior from February 2021 to April 2022.

 

Those border crossers and illegal aliens are released on the promise that they will check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and show up to their asylum hearings. the UCLA data suggests very few show up to their hearings.

 

Although more than 1.2 million illegal aliens have been ordered deported from the U.S. by a federal immigration judge, former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan told Breitbart News that the Biden administration is deporting just one illegal alien for every 100 illegal aliens successfully crossing the southern border.

 

“The most historic illegal alien crossings we’ve ever seen in the history of this nation … in that same year, ICE had the lowest number of removals in the history of the agency,” Homan said.

Ukraine-Russia conflict hits church

 

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has declared independence as Moscow warns the schism could lead to its disappearance

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) voted on Friday to declare independence and autocephaly from the Moscow Patriarchate, citing disagreements with Patriarch Kirill’s position on the Russian military operation in Ukraine. The UOC also proposed to renew talks with the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), a breakaway entity whose establishment by the Kiev authorities caused a schism in 2018.

 

At a council in Kiev, the majority of UOC bishops voted to amend its Charter “testifying to the complete independence and autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” according to a statement published on Friday.

 

Previously part of the Russian Orthodox Church, the UOC continued to consider the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia as its spiritual head following Ukraine’s declaration of independence. In 2018, however, then president Petro Poroshenko backed the creation of the rival OCU. Even though only two bishops out of the UOC’s 90 had joined the OCU, it was recognized by the pro-Western Ecumenical Patriarchate based in Istanbul.

 

The UOC has now called for renewed negotiations with the schismatic OCU, urging it to heal the “deep, painful wound”in the body of the Church in Ukraine. For the dialogue to take place, however, the OCU needs to “stop the seizure of churches and the forced transfers of parishes from the UOC,” said the Council.

 

As a grievance against the Russian Orthodox Church, the UOC cited Patriarch Kirill’s position on the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine, but appealed to the governments in both Moscow and Kiev “to continue the negotiation process and the search for a strong and reasonable word that could stop the bloodshed.”

 

The Ukrainian church’s separatism would lead to “another schism in Ukraine and the beginning of a rapid process” of UOC disappearing, Archpriest Andrei Novikov of the Moscow Patriarchate told TASS on Thursday.

 

“==God forbid, if any decisions are made towards separation from the Russian Orthodox Church, this will definitely be another nationalist schism, an attempt to turn the UOC into a pocket political church= of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky and the [Ukrainian Security Service] SBU,” said Novikov, calling such a move completely against the tradition and legacy of Orthodoxy.

 

He also noted that the bishops of some nine dioceses located in territory controlled by Russian troops opposed autocephaly, for which “there are no canonical grounds, but only the political expediency of the current moment for the Ukrainian authorities.”

 

Novikov predicts many parishes and even dioceses will leave the UOC to remain in communion with Moscow, while the Ukrainian authorities will not hesitate to take the side of the OCU in any disputes with the church that “defeated and betrayed its own cause.”

 

Nearly 80% of Ukrainians consider themselves Orthodox, with another 10% belonging to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which recognizes the Pope in Rome as its supreme leader but maintains Orthodox rites.
