Tucker Carlson recently spoke with Robert Amsterdam, the international lawyer who is representing the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church pro bono as it faces fierce persecution from the Ukrainian state.
The video, “Bob Amsterdam: How USAID Is Helping Zelensky Destroy Christianity With Fake Churches and Violence,” follows on the revelation that American money was being used to support organizations that openly oppose and persecution the 1,000-year-old Church in Ukraine, today led by His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev and All Ukraine.
The interview covers many topics that OrthoChristian has been reporting on for years: the violent seizure of more than 1,000 churches, the baseless arresting of clergy, the beating of parishioners, the role of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the U.S. government in the destabilization of the Ukrainian ecclesiastical situation and the creation of the schismatic “Orthodox Church of Ukraine,” the independence of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and much more.
They also discussed the general silence in the media and from many Christians about the persecution of the majority of Ukraine’s believers:
