This Al Jazeera report covers the Verkhovna Rada's 20 August 2024 vote, 265 to 29, to pass amendments allowing the government to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate over its historical ties to the Russian Orthodox Church, and President Zelensky's signature of the bill into law on Ukraine's Independence Day, giving Moscow Patriarchate parishes nine months to sever ties with their Moscow-based mother church.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
A major international news organization's contemporaneous report on the vote and the law's terms, cross-consistent with CNN's and OSW's independent coverage of the same event, but a news account rather than the enacted Ukrainian statute text itself, hence the middle tier. Citation
