Αγιώτατος Πατριάρχης Κύριλλος: Η παραβίαση των δικαιωμάτων των πιστών της Ουκρανικής Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας αναγνωρίζεται στους απολογισμούς των διεθνών οργανισμών προστασίας ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων.

Ομιλώντας σήμερα στην Αίθουσα Εκκλησιαστικών Συνελεύσεων στον ιερό καθεδρικό ναό του Σωτήρος Χριστού στη Μόσχα στο πλαίσιο της ετήσιας επαρχιακής συνέλευσης της ρωσικής πρωτεύουσας ο Αγιώτατος Πατριάρχης Μόσχας και Πασών των Ρωσσιών Κύριλλος αναφέρθηκε στις διώξεις κατά της Ουκρανικής Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας, οι οποίες καθίστανται ολοένα και πιο απηνείς και στην απόλυτη τρομοκρατία από την ουκρανική κυβέρνηση, αναφέρει η ιστοσελίδα Patriarchia.ru.

Yet, in most cases these examples do not seem to be convincing upon closer look.
