Tucker Carlson is fabricating lies about Ukraine. Tucker did not want his lies that Zelenskyy/Ukraine were persecuting the Church to be exposed. The truth, as every honest and informed person knows, is that the Russian Orthodox Church is a branch of the KGB/FSB and Zelenskyy/Ukraine were rolling up a spy network within their own country that was working against Ukraine and for Russia. Zelenskyy/Ukraine never bothered ANY of the other denominations (Baptist, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, etc.) because they were not in active opposition to Ukraine like the Russian Orthodox Church, centered in Moscow, with Kirill a KGB/FSB officer at its helm, was. Without any doubt Tucker knows this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarch_Kirill_of_Moscow#KGB_affiliation Konstantin Kisin was going to call him out on it but Tucker & his producer threatened to ban him from the show. More proof Tucker is lying on purpose and won't let others expose him.

Yuri Maltsev, a defector from the USSR, explains that after Stalin dissolved the church so many religious people were deserting to the Germans/Nazis that Stalin reinstituted the Church under the direction of the KGB (now FSB). Maltsev points out that after the lastt Patriarch Alexy II, an agent of the KGB, died in 2008 he wondered which of the four contenders to replace the Patriarch was the KGB agent. Maltsev contacted some his sources in Russia and was told all four are. Since 1942 the Russian Orthodox church has never been anything other than a branch of the KGB and in service to the Soviet, or now Russian, state. It is by no means a religious organization.
