"If we take into account the persecution of the clergy and believers, the situation looks very bad. Human rights organisations are beginning to ask questions to Ukrainian officials, to which they cannot give clear and truthful explanations. We are in one step towards an international scandal. Meanwhile, the incitement of hatred on religious grounds, bandit seizures of churches and beatings of clergymen and parishioners continue in the country. The situation is already getting out of control. Time is running out. It will only get worse," said Artem Dmytruk.
