The Law of Ukraine on the Protection of the Constitutional Order in the Field of Activities of Religious Organizations, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada in 2024, is the legislature's own statutory text restricting religious organisations found to have ties to a state engaged in armed aggression against Ukraine, aimed in practice at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church's historical ties to Moscow. As the primary legal text, it is authoritative for what the statute actually provides. It is not an independent account of the law's real-world enforcement or of the church-state dispute surrounding it, both still unfolding and needing separate, ongoing sourcing.

Reliability Tier1
The Law of Ukraine on the Protection of the Constitutional Order in the Field of Activities of Religious Organizations, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada in 2024, is the legislature's own primary statutory text, the top tier reflecting that it is the primary legal text itself, authoritative for what the statute provides, notwithstanding that it is not an independent account of the law's still unfolding enforcement or the church-state dispute surrounding it. NotesThe Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine's own statute on the protection of constitutional order in the activities of religious organizations (2024); the legislative text itself, not a scholarly or historical account of the religious bodies it affects.
