Ban on the Activity of the “FSB in Cassocks” (ROC)
The Verkhovna Rada supported legislative decisions aimed at restricting and banning the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), often referred to in public discourse as the “FSB in cassocks.”
The initiative was driven by national security considerations in the context of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine. It addressed concerns regarding the use of religious structures as instruments of influence and hybrid warfare by the Russian Federation.
The law provides legal mechanisms for limiting the operation of religious organizations affiliated with a state recognized as an aggressor, as well as procedures for terminating their activities in Ukraine.
The decision reflects a broader state policy of safeguarding national security, protecting information space, and preventing the use of religious institutions for hostile influence operations.
