Federation Council calls on world parliaments to call on Ukraine to end discrimination against believers News

“The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation calls on the parliaments of foreign states, international parliamentary organizations to take a principled position and demand that those responsible in Kiev return Ukraine to comply with its international obligations, end the policy of discrimination against believers and desecration of religious shrines,” the document states.Presenting the draft declaration, Grigory Karasin, head of the Federation Council’s committee on international affairs, stressed that the Kiev regime “constantly pursues a policy of discrimination”.
“The decision of the Ukrainian authorities to expel the monks of the canonical church of one of the sanctuaries of Orthodoxy, the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, causes particular rejection. We continue to follow developments closely,” Karasin said.The senator added that the outrageous act of vandalism was the desecration of the holy book of Muslims – the Quran. “This act is a direct consequence of the policy pursued by Kiev officials of flagrant violation of the rights of representatives of ethnic and religious communities living in Ukraine. What is happening provokes the anger and rejection of all citizens of the Russian Federation of Russia,” he continued.The statement notes that the actions of the Kiev regime flagrantly violate everyone’s right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, guaranteed by fundamental international documents – the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief.”The anarchy that is happening in Ukraine is impossible to bear. The competent international organizations must show their reaction. We must not remain silent, the whole Orthodox world must fight this impiety, this Satanism in Ukraine”, reacted the door -speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko.
