Nico Lange: Visit of Religious Leaders of Ukraine to Brussels Was Obstructed On Purpose

Representatives of the European Union and persons who planned the trip of the members of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (AUCCRO) to Brussels are of the opinion that the Ukrainian authorities deliberately obstructed the visit. This opinion was expressed in a commentary to RISU by the Director of the Kyiv Office of Conrad Adenauer Foundation Nico Lange, one of the organizers of the visit.

“One gets the impression that this was done deliberately to prevent the leaders of the Ukrainian churches and religious organizations from coming to Brussels. It is obvious for the people who organized the visit and the potential interlocuters in Brussels,” said the politician.

Nico Lange said that the visit will be made anyway. Most probably, it will be done after Easter, but he did not specify the exact date.
