Ukraine to 'curb' activities of Russia-linked religious groups

Ukraine will move to place "restrictions" on the activities of Russian-linked religious organisations in the country, and security services will begin an investigation into a Moscow-linked branch of the Orthodox Church after a raid on a monastery last week

“The National Security and Defence Council has instructed the government to propose to (parliament) a bill on proscribing activities in Ukraine by religious organisations affiliated with centres of influence in Russia,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address on Thursday.
