🇬🇧"RETURNING TO STATE PROPERTY": THE AUTHORITY IS PREPARING TO EXPROPRIATE ONE MORE UOC MONASTERY❗️

🇺🇦"ПОВЕРНУТИ У ВЛАСНІСТЬ ДЕРЖАВИ": ВЛАДА ГОТУЄ ЕКСПРОПРІАЦІЮ ЩЕ ОДНОГО МОНАСТИРЯ УПЦ❗️

The Economic Court of Zhytomyr Region canceled the private ownership for the St. Basil's Convent in Ovruch on February 24, 2025. The monastery buildings are a monument of cultural heritage and, although they have been in private ownership since 2006, they will be "returned to state ownership," reports "Suspilne.Zhytomyr".

The lawyer of the UOC monastery indicated that the statute of limitations had long expired, but the court ignored this position.

Back on March 23, 2006, the executive committee of the Ovruch City Council adopted Decision No. 82 “On registration of ownership rights to real estate objects owned by legal entities and individuals.” However, according to the court, it was adopted with an excess of authority and in the absence of a decision of the owner (authorized state body) on changing the legal status of state property.
“This decision is illegal and subject to cancellation,” the court believes.

The lawyer for the St. Basil’s Convent of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church emphasized that the monastery did not and could not have been able to verify the legality of the decision of the local government body, did not commit any violations, and acted lawfully.

“The subject of the disputed legal relationship is the object – the household of the convent, therefore, the general limitation period of THREE YEARS applies to the claims, which began on 03/23/2006 and, accordingly, ended on 03/24/2009.
The prosecutor filed a corresponding claim with the court on 06/11/2024, that is, more than 18 years after the adoption of the contested decision and the expiration of the limitation period,” – the lawyer’s quote.

A similar scheme for alienating property was successfully implemented in Chernihiv. On January 16, 2025, the Supreme Court refused to satisfy the claim of the Chernihiv Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church regarding the right to use the complex of the Holy Trinity Yelets Convent of the 12th-17th centuries. Now the Ministry of Culture will do whatever it wants in the temple.

And regarding Ovruch, we already wrote in 2022 that the authorities were giving an ultimatum: either the priests of the UOC will transfer to the OCU or they must vacate the churches.

The deputies of the Ovruch City Council even formalized this in the criminal Resolution No. 1255 of April 27, 2022 “On the Appeal of the Deputies of the Ovruch City Council to the Clergy and Parishioners of the UOC Parishes,” where they declared nonsense that the UOC “appropriated the name “Ukrainian Orthodox Church”” and is conducting anti-state activities.

◾️The Lviv OVA is responsible for the falsification of documents for the Holy Spirit Cathedral, St. Nicholas and Peter and Paul churches of the UOC situated in Chernivtsi.

According to documents from open sources, the illegal re-registration of Bukovina shrines was carried out by a certain S. Hryniv from the Department of Culture, Nationalities and Religions of the Lviv Regional State Administration.

According to sources, there is not a single state registrar left in the Chernivtsi Regional State Administration.

The wave of raider seizures and illegal re-registrations of UOC churches forced people to leave their positions. State registrars in Bukovina do not want to be accomplices in terror against Christians.

Now it has become clear that Lviv officials are helping the OCU raiders legalize the crime.

In the Sadgora district, parishioners of three churches voted to remain in the bosom of the UOC.
On February 23, 2025, three church communities in the Sadgora district of Chernivtsi voted to remain loyal to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), according to the press service of the Chernivtsi-Bukovyna Eparchy.
The voting took place at the Nativity of the Theotokos Church, as well as at St. Nicholas Church and St. Spyridon Church.
"At 16:00, the three communities together proceeded in a cross procession to the center of Sadgora, where they gathered at the local cultural center to jointly serve an Akathist to St. Nicholas and a prayer service for the health of Ukrainian soldiers," the statement reads.
The diocese's press service also noted that at 17:00, a cultural and educational event was scheduled at the cultural center, where unidentified individuals allegedly planned to claim ownership of three Orthodox churches in Sadgora, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael the Archangel, and a synagogue on Yaroslav Mudryi Street.
Foreign journalists observed the events.

According to Vasyl Maliuk, the initiator of the "work" against the UOC is the Czech Republic.
Head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Vasyl Maliuk stated in a comment to Livyi Bereh that the European Union has allegedly imposed certain sanctions against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).

“These [sanctions] have been implemented both in Europe and in Ukraine. But this work continues. In particular, the initiator is the Czech Republic. And we have worked on this together with our Czech colleagues. I continue this work. It is indeed a top-priority direction. At the same time, we remain committed to the principle of freedom of conscience and religion. There can be no doubts about that… If the 'ears' of Russian intelligence services are visible there, we will act accordingly,” Maliuk stated.
According to the LB editorial team, Maliuk was commenting on information that “the latest sanctions imposed by the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) against certain individuals were introduced, among other reasons, due to identified cases of financing public organizations in the EU that engage in anti-Ukrainian activities and are linked to Russians, including religious communities.”

“As soon as there are sufficient grounds, we will implement this,” Maliuk said when asked whether such work could serve as a basis for introducing new NSDC sanctions.

Archbishop Pimen addressed the faithful with a sermon on the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
On February 24, 2025, after a prayer for the preservation of Ukraine, Archbishop Pimen of Rivne and Ostroh addressed the faithful with a sermon, expressing gratitude to the clergy of the Rivne Eparchy, who continue to stand with the people despite the difficult times for the Church.
The hierarch emphasized: "Today, we ask for the protection of our brothers, sisters, relatives, both near and far, even those who are far from us but always in our prayers. May the Lord grant them health, peace, and well-being, shielding them from all evil and danger."
"We ask for the protection of all those who share our blood, our compatriots. May God's grace watch over each one, granting strength, faith, and steadfastness," Archbishop Pimen said.
He also expressed gratitude to the clergy of the Rivne Eparchy, who, despite losing their churches, remain with their flock and continue to provide spiritual support and assistance to those in need.
"You remain with the people even when your churches are taken from you. You bless the military, help all those in need. Continue to serve and support, for this is our calling," the hierarch emphasized.

◾️Shameful persecutions against the defenders of the UOC St. Michael's Cathedral in Cherkassy are going on.

They are a continuation of the bloody massacre organized by the OCU militants.

Some days ago, the first court hearing took place in the case against the carer of the Martha and Mary Sisterhood, Father Oleksandr Smyk.

The courageous priest, who defended the shrine, was tried to be incriminated under Art. 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - Hooliganism.

All these cases against Orthodox Christians began to appear immediately after the report of the UN Monitoring Mission, which recorded the attack of militants and OCU raiders on the cathedral. 2 months after the events.

According to our information, the prosecutor's office brought to court an incomprehensible video in which 2 people collided in the chaos of the assault, people lift them up, and they left.
Obviously, while realizing that the case cannot be closed with this, the prosecutor himself offered a reconciliation agreement.

Can you imagine, they tried to incriminate the priest with a serious criminal case, the punishment for which is imprisonment, for the fact that in the confusion he collided with another and himself fell.

At the same time, the case of monk Nektariy, who was beaten by OCU militants, who was broken his femur and damaged his ribs, is classified as an administrative "Minor hooliganism", with a penalty of a fine.

It seems that this senseless case against Father Oleksandr was made solely for the existence of the case itself. And now they are trying to back down.

◾️According to our information, the first court hearing in the case against the defender of the Archangel Michael Cathedral of the UOC — Fr. Roman Harkavenko — will take place on February 11.

The process of persecuting Fr. Roman is built on a structure of lies, manipulation and the desire to strike at the Church.
To strike at those who had the courage to defend the House of God from hired militants and barbarians.

The case was done literally from nothing. Without a single, according to our information, testimony and evidence. Its only goal is to cover up the bloody massacre before the civilized world.

We call for prayerful support for the clergyman and all defenders of the cathedral!

◾️The parishioners of the UOC Assumption Church in Dubivtsi village, in Bukovina, have appealed to the US government, the UN, the OSCE and other human rights organizations.

Orthodox Christians are asking to protect their rights and the shrine from the OCU raiders.

The parish spoke about the gross falsification made by the thieves from Epiphany, who are trying to start the process of seizing the church.

"It is known that fake documents are being prepared for our church. There is a possibility of the church forceful seizure, which can harm our believers.

Today, such meetings and forceful seizure of UOC churches are taking place in our Bukovina and throughout Ukraine, during martial law."

American journalist Tucker Carlson wonders why they are interfering so much and trying to change the views of Ukrainians on religion and family.

UOC lawyer Robert Amsterdam points out that in the case of the Church, the authorities refer to an alleged connection with Russia, which the Church has repeatedly denied.

“Our connection is canonical. This is through, let's say, the Book. And our government cannot control canonical law. This is definitely beyond the competence of any government.”

Tucker Carlson emphasized that this is similar to the narrative of some Muslim states that in the 20th century waged war with Israel.

For their ordinary religious affiliation, the Jewish population of these countries was punished and deported.

“These far-right in Ukraine see Maidan as the center of the 2014 events. And in OCU churches they even created Maidan shrines . They have even changed the religion itself to Ukrainian nationalism.”
Carlson concluded that it is a state religion.

From February 11 to 13, 2025, court hearings were to be held in Sloviansk and Kryvyi Rih concerning the case against the vicar of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra, the Svyatogirsk Metropolitan Arseny.

These preparatory hearings in Sloviansk did not take place due to the impossibility of assembling the completed court team.
Since the presiding judge made a tight schedule of hearings without previously coordinating it with any of the lawyers, this leads to the imposition of hearings with the defenders of Metropolitan Arseny, who are also involved in other cases.

❗The next session of the Sloviansk court is to be held on Tuesday, February 18 at 1:00 p.m.

It is to decide on the defense's motion to broadcast the hearings in the case against Bishop Arseny on YouTube "Judiciary of Ukraine" and on the portal of the same name.

The online session of the Dnipro Court of Appeal in Kryvyi Rih on February 12, where the defense lawyers' motions for the bishop's detention to be extended until March 30 were to be considered, did not take place due to technical problems.

❗The appeal session was postponed to February 25 at 1:45 p.m.

🙏The Svyatogorsk Monastery writes:
"Dear brothers and sisters, we ask your prayers for the imprisoned Metropolitan Arseny and for the Lavra brethren."

🇬🇧THOUSANDS OF THE UOC PARISHIONERS IN BUKOVYNA CAME TO PROTECT THEIR CHURCH AND THEIR TEMPLES

🇺🇦ТИСЯЧІ ВІРЯН УПЦ НА БУКОВИНІ ВИЙШЛИ НА ЗАХИСТ СВОЄЇ ЦЕРКВИ І СВОЇХ ХРАМІВ

◾️Orthodox Bukovinians have proved many times that they are vigilant in the defence of their shrines and the faith of their ancestors.

Today, we would like to pay our respects and thanks to the Bukovinian Christians for the new and glorious episodes of Christian bravery that have recently appeared, once again raising their voices against injustice and persecutions.

The case is that throughout recent weeks, raiders from the OCU have been especially active in the Chernivtsi region.

The odious raider Roman Grischuk and his gang are touring various settlements with the same song of hatred and raiders scheme of virtual transitions to the OCU.

The targets of the raiders over the past few years have been the parishes of the UOC in Dubivtsi, Pidzakharichi, Verkhnikh Stanivtsi, Ust-Putili and Storozhyntsi.

In all these villages, Epiphany's raiders began falsifying documents with the aim to seize churches.

But Bukovinians do not passively watch this deception and false gatherings that have a goal to take their churches and to destroy the UOC in the region. Orthodox Ukrainians bravely defend their shrines.

They carefully and thoughtfully organized their defence. So, the evils that are being prepared now can be seen by everyone.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, UOC lawyer Robert Amsterdam emphasized that the Church does not only demand respect for its rights.

"But our Church does not demand that you stop praying as you want. We simply say: do not steal churches, do not imprison priests, and do not destroy religion."

The lawyer recalled that the Pope, the UN, the US Mission in the OSCE, and the human rights organization Human Rights Watch spoke out against the UOC's terror.

"It's not just me anymore. When you first invited me, it was just me.
Now it's the Church of England.

The whole world condemns the Ukrainian government, and only its friends in Washington defend it."

The so-called “Center for Countering Disinformation,” which works under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, continues to disgrace itself.

Now the CCD is actually admitting… that it spreads disinformation.

As soon as President Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard for the position of Director of National Intelligence of the United States, officials from the CCD rushed to delete all the false slander against her on their page.

After the official appointment, they gave birth to pathetic excuses. Moreover, they were also false.

We recall that the CCD has been saying for years that Gabbard “spreads Russian narratives” for “Kremlin money.”

Now the pocket Cerberus of the National Security and Defense Council claim that the publications were “unfounded” and “did not meet the standards of the Center.”
Allegedly, after the appointment of the odious Kovalev as the head of the CCD, “unfounded posts in 2022/23” were “checked and deleted.”

And this is the funniest thing, because the shameful instigators of hatred harassed Gabbard in 2024 (they also deleted the relevant posts).

It will not work to smear Kovalev’s gang, because everything is recorded.

By the way, the CCD accused Gabbard of publications about the persecution of the UOC.
In fact, now the subordinates of the National Security and Defense Council have admitted that the persecution of Christians in Ukraine exists.

Think about it, an entire appendage of a state body admits that it has been publishing fakes for years. A magical self-exposition.

We are waiting for the incitement of hatred against the UOC and the fables about “negligent employees who were fired 100 years ago and cannot be punished” to also begin to “disappear.”
