Most respondents stated that the Church should not be banned.
A survey was conducted on the streets of Kyiv, asking residents of the capital: "Should the Ukrainian Orthodox Church be banned?"
Most respondents answered negatively. They stated that the Church should not be banned because many people go there. Additionally, they mentioned that it is wrong to take away people's religion and noted that the UOC has been around for a long time and has never been an enemy.
Some respondents said that this is a political issue and that it is decided not by the people, but by politicians.
Among the respondents, there were those who unequivocally demanded the banning of the "Church of the aggressor country", but they were in the minority.
As the UOJ reported, Robert Amsterdam called the KIIS survey regarding the ban of the UOC fraudulent.
