Ukrainian lawmakers on August 20 approved a bill banning religious organizations linked to the Russian Orthodox Church, which Kyiv has criticized for being supportive of Moscow's full-scale invasion.

Such freedoms, like in doge meme wow

Apologise for linking RFE article, but it’s kinda funny because most other western outlets just copied them, and even funnier because they used even more biased language than a fucking RFE.

Also take notes:
Socialist countries mildly controlling the reactionary religious institutions: OMG BANNING RELIGION, OPRESSION, FASCISM, MISTAKE, ALIENATING PROLETARIAT (choose your flavour)
Neonazi US puppet outright banning church with millions believers: “Spiritual sovereignity”

    I guess my question is just to what degree is there pushback against this in the Ukraine ?

    No idea, there is no trustworthy info about it. Nothing major though, but i imagine country in which army is openly kidnapping and harassing people and where opposition is jailed or murdered by fascist mobs might have this supressed.

    previously existing ukrainian orthodox church was far removed from Russia already

    Doctrinally and thologically there is zero diferences, politically yes, although the schism was only in 2019, so you can see it’s very recent development, i wouldn’t be surprised to see US money in that, it wouldn’t be even first time nor the 100th where orthodox church took US money for working against people.
