DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Ukraine legalizes raider attacks on churches

SUMMARY

The new Ukrainian law on religious communities will allow raider attacks on churches.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. In fact, according to the new Ukrainian law on religious communities, the membership in a religious community is based on the principles of free will. The decision to change the subordination of a community or transfer its property is made by the religious community itself, based on majority vote. Further debunking by The Insider.
