#IRFSummit2025 was honored to hear from @VP this morning.

Read our latest report, "Ukraine's Attack on Religious Freedom," which details the illegal nature of Law 3894 and documents the numerous attacks and violations of rights committed against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. ☦️

[Robert Amsterdam @robertamsterdam]

During my speech earlier this week at the IRF Summit I condemned Ukraine's passage of Law 3894 aiming to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church ☦️. US taxpayer dollars should never be used to persecute Christians or any other religion. We must halt this attack NOW.

[Save the UOC @savetheuoc]

Today at at 4:15 p.m. EST, @RobertAmsterdam will be a featured panelist at #IRFSummit2025, "The Global Church in the Face of Political Repression," commenting on the situation Law 3894. Watch the livestream there: https://t.co/uKfZ2b3vEx

[Save the UOC @savetheuoc]

Today at the @IRFSummit Ukrainian Rada Member Dmytro Lubinets is going to be speaking. This individual has denied any violations of rights while worshippers were beaten by thugs and church gates rammed and sieged with tractors. #IRFSummit2025 https://t.co/nx4jT42bz5

[Save the UOC @savetheuoc]

The only thing @HRW got wrong about Ukraine's religious cleansing law is that the human rights violations aren't just hypothetical future events. They've been taking place for months in broad daylight. https://t.co/fFTLulXmwE

In case you missed it, the open letter to President-elect Trump from Metropolitan Agafangel, which expresses hope that the next administration can bring an end to the relentless persecution of the UOC.

I don't care whether they are Orthodox or Protestants. My heart breaks when I see people attacking churches in the world. We see that happening in other parts of the world too, not only in Ukraine.

@robertamsterdam @flaviusoxford Thank you for your efforts in defending our Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Visiting it for already 30 years I never heard political propaganda in it's premises.

Another scene of the storming of the main cathedral in Cherkassy that belongs to the Ukranian Orthodox Church (country’s largest church organisation formerly affiliated with Russia). Purportedly filmed by a priest who gets beaten towards the end.

The attacking thugs sporting Ukrainian army tactical sign (yellow ribbon) belong to the SBU-linked neo-nazi group C14, according to its leader Yevhen Karas. There is no court decision or anything - they just did it with full support from the city authorities.

[Robert Amsterdam @robertamsterdam]

Christina Lamb's sobering account of the difficult realities on the ground in Ukraine stands in painful contrast to the usual accolades and hero narratives of Zelensky. https://t.co/iJACsghQ5e

[Robert Amsterdam @robertamsterdam]

I had the opportunity to speak with Metropolitan Theodosius following the violent illegal raid on the Cherkassy Cathedral by a group of armed thugs known to be linked to the SBU.

His testimony of these events leave no room for any excuses of the Ukrainian government's illegal conduct and failure to protect the human rights of its citizens.

[Robert Amsterdam @robertamsterdam]

In August I wrote a letter to @ZelenskyyUa explicitly warning that "crimes against humanity are or will soon be committed in Ukraine that will fall within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court."

When a state-sponsored mob raided the Cherkassy Cathedral this past week, beating worshippers and priests while the police stood by and did nothing to protect their human rights and right to religious freedom, the rubicon was crossed.

We implore anyone left in the Ukrainian govt with a conscience and duty to uphold rule of law to intervene and stop this madness immediately.

The U.S. delegation to the @OSCE has issued a statement expressing concern that the religious cleansing law aimed at banning the UOC could "collectively punish entire religious communities." https://t.co/TZgHjkHqNS
