MEPs from the Netherlands and Germany said that the European Parliament demands an immediate response from Zelensky because of the "war on priests".

Members of the European Parliament, Marcel de Graaff and Joachim Kuhs have submitted an official request to the European community, drawing attention to the persecution of the UOC by the Ukrainian government, reports Voice of Europe.

In his message on X, de Graaf argues, "Ukraine violates the rule of law and human rights."

"Ukraine should never become a member of the EU. I appealed to the Commission," writes the MEP.

According to him, Zelensky wages war on priests, and "MEPs demand an immediate response".

As earlier reported, according to US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Ukraine cannot be called a democratic country as the UOC is persecuted there.
