Last Update:
In our time, when freedom of speech and the right to freedom of religion are declared basic human rights, many bishops, clergy and believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church continue to be subjected to unjustified persecution.
Fabricated criminal cases are brought against them - and only for their devotion to their Church and Faith.
Below is a list of those who are being persecuted today for their belonging to the UOC:
- Metropolitan Pavel, Vicar of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra;
- Metropolitan Luke of Zaporozhye;
- Metropolitan Arseniy, Metropolitan of Svyatogorsk Lavra;
- Metropolitan Evlogii of Sumy;
- Metropolitan Theodosius of Cherkassy;
- Metropolitan Longin of Bancheny;
- Metropolitan Iosaf of Vasylkiv;
- Bishop Nikita of Ivano-Frankivsk;
- Archpriest Serhiy Chertilin;
- Archpriest Dimitry Sydor, Rector of the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Cross in Uzhgorod;
- Archpriest Nikolai Danilevich, Deputy Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations of the UOC;
- Archimandrite Venedikt Khromey, priest of the Khust diocese of the UOC
- 13 hierarchs were illegally deprived of Ukrainian citizenship, and personal sanctions were imposed against several others;
- Valeriy Stupnitsky, Andriy Ovcharenko, Volodymyr Bobechko (journalists of the "Union of Orthodox Journalists").
This list, unfortunately, is not complete. Almost every day there are reports about new sentences and detentions of Ukrainian believers and priests. It is far from always possible to draw attention to these cases. Nevertheless, we must continue to remember and pray for all those who are suffering today for their faith and the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church!
