Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), operating under President Zelensky’s National Security and Defense Council, gleefully reported Dec. 12 that the regime has escalated its “spiritual war” against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) which had been tied to the Moscow Patriarch prior to March 2022. The CCD posted an “Infographic” with big pictures of the seven targeted Archbishops, Bishops, and Abbots to its Telegram channel, explaining:
“#CCD illustrates: The sanctions list of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine that stirred everyone’s imagination! Another 7 clerics of the UOC (mp [Moscow Patriarch]) were added to the sanctions list for cooperation with the enemy.”
