Ukrainian MPs who proposed banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church expressed their gratitude to the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (AUCCRO) for supporting this initiative. MP Yevheniya Kravchuk emphasized the important role of AUCCRO in spreading information that there is freedom of religion in Ukraine. She made this statement in an interview with the publication "24 Channel".

"We are very grateful to the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches, which unites absolutely all religious organizations (except, obviously, one) that have made it very clear that there is no religious persecution in Ukraine. We have freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, and the only threat to religions in Ukraine is Russia with its missiles, occupation, and so on," Kravchuk stated.

She noted that MPs who lobby for Law 8371 are addressing all inquiries, giving interviews, and are ready, as members of the committee, together with representatives of various denominations, possibly with the same All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and representatives of the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience, to attend meetings and explain their position. Kravchuk mentioned that, according to her information, Russia has already activated all possible connections to involve politicians it influences and try to promote the topic of the UOC ban in the media.

As reported by the UOJ, Yelensky and a representative of the Office of the President went to the United States to justify the law banning the UOC.
