Ukraine's Zelenskyy signs law banning Moscow-linked religious institutions

Kyiv: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a law banning Moscow-linked religious organisations, the parliament website said on Saturday.

The bill approved by parliament earlier this month created the legal tools for the government to ban activities of a Russia-linked branch of the Orthodox church and paved the way for a historic rupture with an institution that Kyiv has accused of complicity in Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
