On July 23, MP of Ukraine Yevhen Shevchenko wrote on his Telegram channel that during the Parliament's conciliation council, there were not enough votes to include bill 8371, which effectively bans the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, on the agenda today.
"We are expecting a flash mob from the antichrists. They will pretend to block the VR podium," the deputy speculated.
As reported by the UOJ, Mykyta Poturaev initiated the introduction of the law to ban the UOC in the Rada on July 23 and sent letters to the faction leaders demanding that the bill be immediately put to a vote.
