Washington will not be able to “fail to see” the persecution against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on the demand of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve for the monks of the UOC to leave the building of the Lavra, RIA Novosti writes.
“Does the State Department know? Usually, the corresponding department of the American Foreign Ministry reacts vividly to the facts of religious oppression. This time, the States will not be able to “fail to see” the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
