52% of the surveyed citizens agree that the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate are more likely to contribute to Russian aggression. Those who believe that the UOC-MP, on the contrary, contributes to the defense of Ukraine constitute only 11%.
This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Razumkov Center, reports Censor.net.
"For the majority of citizens, regardless of their age, macro-region of residence, level of education or financial situation, the UOC-MP is more a threat to the country's sovereignty than vice versa," the report says.
However, among the residents of the southern and eastern regions, a significant proportion are hesitant about whether it is really worth evaluating the Church from the standpoint of its role in the war. 60% of citizens living in the southern regions and 57% of those living in the eastern regions did not agree that the UOC-MP contributes to or harms the defense of the state. 49% of Russian-speaking respondents have a similar position.
