☦️ Vladimir Legoyda, Chairman of the Department for Church's Society and Mass Mediа Relations (Russian Orthodox Church) spoke to Sputnik about the situation around the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
🗣 "Before that, for Zelensky and his circle, the situation with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was maybe not that important, or at least they wouldn't show that it was important because it was the idea of the ex-president Poroshenko, to build this new national church. But something changed last November, when this suppression and this pressure from the state became really very strong. So Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is sort of the final point because there were a lot of other monasteries and churches and priests who were arrested and so on. And I'm pretty sure that it has to do with his American consultants," Vladimir Legoyda said.

📹 In an interview with Sputnik, Vladimir Legoyda, Chairman of the Department for Church's Society and Mass Mediа Relations (Russian Orthodox Church) speaks about state-run repression in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
💬 "If you claim to be democratic, you cannot support such actions. You cannot do what you are doing now in Ukraine. There were facts and situations when priests, Ukrainian Orthodox priests, were arrested for the fact of having a postcard from Russia, like Christmas card, that it was some kind of Russian propaganda. It sounds, you know, it is absurd. It sounds funny, but it's not funny at all because people are suffering for this," says Vladimir Legoyda.

📹Vladimir Legoyda tells Sputnik if the Orthodox Church in Ukraine would be able to survive in underground conditions.
💭 "Well, we do believe that the church will survive no matter what happens. But you mentioned this, the persecution in the Soviet Union. And, you know, I was maybe quite naive to think that after what we experienced in the 20th century, I mean, our fathers and grandfathers, something like that would never happen in the contemporary world. And the fact that we're talking about those persecutions today in Ukraine, that we compare.... It's not just a metaphor when we talk about persecution, it is a fact. It is a terrible fact, and these historical parallels are real, and it is terrible," says Vladimir Legoyda.

China Calls on US to Stop All Forms of Official Interaction With Taiwan
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen merely stopping in the United States on her way to Guatemala and Belize is a total falsehood, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said during a briefing on Wednesday, urging Washington to drop any diplomatic relations with Taipei.
On Wednesday, Tsai left Taiwan for a 10-day diplomatic tour of Guatemala and Belize. The trip will include stopovers in New York City and Los Angeles during her departure and return flights, respectively. Earlier this month, US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he would meet Tsai when she comes to the US. Taiwan has not yet confirmed such a meeting.
