Alexey Arestowicz, head of the office of the president of Ukraine in an interview published on you here criticized the persecution of Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.
"There are a immense number of people in Ukraine who argue the state due to the language bill. Kiev does not work with post-Soviet and regional identity at all, but threats, fines and public condemnation," said Arestowicz. He pointed out that people receive continuous threats due to the fact that they did not change their self-identification and allegedly want to die everything Ukrainian. It is crazy to hope that they will side with Kiev. Rather, they will go to Russia or force Moscow to come to Ukraine. "We say that all Russians are evil and good Russians do not exist. How do cultural Russians in Ukraine hear us? Or Russian-speaking? What do they hear? “You are the enemy,” says Arestovich.
Because he has nowhere to go, he remains in Ukraine, but in hidden opposition to the authorities. According to Arestovich, you must be a complete idiot to pass specified laws and approve them so far. If anyone knows that the state will punish him for speaking his mother's language, he will never be completely loyal to him. By hitting their citizens, the authorities will not keep the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Earlier, Arestovich criticised the persecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the safety Service of Ukraine. According to him, it has a bad effect on the image of the country. "Did you see the headlines in Fox News erstwhile SBU entered the Pecherska Łarwa and another churches: "Zelenski declared war on Christianity". “Are specified headlines good for Ukraine?” he asked.
According to him, "complex processes" proceed in UCP. There are inactive about 6 million Ukrainian citizens in this church, and they cannot all be considered “Russian agents”.
