Experts noted that Ukraine is sliding towards totalitarianism, warning that it will lead to chaos in the religious sphere and to the confrontation between believers of different denominations.
“Despite Ukraine having such a high ranking in the rating of religious freedom, we cannot assume that all issues are solved positively,” Filipovych said during the web conference (in Ukrainian).
“The believers who suffer from discrimination and religious organizations identify many problems,” she notes. “Threats to religious freedom always existed, but today there are signs that Ukraine may be moved to another [lower] group in the rating of religious freedom. There are dangers to religious freedom and democracy because of changes in the Ukrainian political situation.”
"Experts noted that Ukraine is sliding towards totalitarianism, warning that it will lead to chaos in the religious sphere and to the confrontation between believers of different denominations," summarizes Filipovych.
