Systemic persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church continues, – expert

Andrei Zolotarev, a political analyst, the head of the "Third Sector" Centre, believes that the current authority deliberately does not notice the lawlessness that radicals allow themselves. This opinion was expressed by the politologist in the commentary to "The First Cossack"channel.

"Systematic persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church continues," Zolotarev said. "The raid of "mujahideen for hire", "S14", who are not even ashamed of being provocateurs in the service of the state security. Obviously, such a task was set. While our president talks about "unprecedented freedom of speech and the progress of reforms," militants in the centre of Kiev are smashing the office of the news agency. Or the scandal surrounding the ZiK and the systemic harassment of this television channel, organized by the battle-front soldiers of our "war party", the harassment of Natalia Vlaschenko, is more than clear evidence that our government lives in a parallel dimension, which has nothing to do with the sad realities surrounding us."
