Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on his Twitter claimed that Ukraine will raise the issue of the threat posed by Russia to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the upcoming United Nations Security Council meeting. This comes after a missile strike targeted the Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi Cathedral in Odesa.
"Russia has been systematically destroying the Orthodox Church in Ukraine and its premises. The latest is today’s strike on Odesa’s Transfiguration (Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi - Ed.) Cathedral. We will raise this at the next UNSC meeting on Ukraine to make it clear: Russia is the only threat to Ukraine’s Orthodoxy," he wrote.
