[DISTURBING] Ukrainian Journalist Reveals Zelensky's BRUTAL Crackdown On Orthodox Christians at UN

"The blood and tears of Orthodox believers are on the hands of those defending the Ukrainian regime." That was one of the most dramatic moments at a UN meeting on Ukraine. A Ukrainian journalist accused Kyiv of persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, targeting priests, and suppressing religious freedom. What You Need to Know At a Russia-convened UN Arria-formula meeting, journalist Ruslan Klinchuk presented allegations of religious persecution in Ukraine. Klinchuk claimed Orthodox priests and parishioners were beaten, churches were forcibly seized, and clergy faced intimidation and criminal investigations. He alleged that Ukraine's security forces threatened him, forcing him to leave the country, and later searched his elderly grandmother's home. The speech accused the Ukrainian authorities of supporting policies that discriminate against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) following the creation of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine in 2018. Klinchuk also directly challenged Western governments, arguing they were supporting "a brutal regime" rather than "a young democracy." Ukraine and many Western governments reject Russia's characterization of these events, arguing that measures involving the UOC are driven by national security concerns and denying systematic religious persecution. This video breaks down Klinchuk's most controversial statements, the wider geopolitical context, and why religion has become another front in the Russia-Ukraine information war. #ukraine, #russiaukrainewar, #orthodoxchurch, #religiousfreedom, #unitednations, #geopolitics, #worldnews Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World ukraine,russia ukraine war,ukraine news,ukrainian orthodox church,orthodox church ukraine,religious persecution ukraine,ruslan klinchuk,un security council,united nations,arria formula meeting,zelensky,russia news,church seizures ukraine,orthodox priests ukraine,ukraine religion,world news,geopolitics,why is the ukrainian orthodox church under pressure,what happened at the un meeting on ukraine,religious freedom ukraine,russia ukraine latest,ukraine analysis
