On December 15, 2022, the head of the humanitarian committee of the Rada, Nikita Poturaev, again spoke out against the ban on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This was reported by the Telegram channel “Politics of the country”.

“There is a widespread thought in society: “Let’s ban some church.” As a European country, especially as a country that wants to start negotiations on EU membership next year, we cannot do this. This will mean that we will receive a claim to the European Court of Human Rights. We are guaranteed to lose this case, it will be a shame for us as a state and society, ”Poturaev said at the telethon.
