Interference impossible to ignore, or what should the state do with religious policy?
All states of the world have in place a policy regarding religion and associations that citizens set up based on this religion's ground. The atheistic government of China and theocratic government of Iran, the mighty United States and tiny Andorra – just every one of them.

MPs to vote the Christmas according to Gregorian calendar official day off
On Thursday, MPs of Ukraine will vote for a law on the possibility of official celebration of Christmas in two calendars - Julian and Gregorian. MP Viktor Ukolov reported this on his Facebook page.
"Breaking away from the “Russian world” - a group of MP proposed to celebrate Christmas twice: on December 25 and January 7. Interestingly, among the authors there are MPs of all factions, except the Opposition bloc and all denominations (even the UOC-MP),” he said.
"The bill will be voted on Thursday. Friends who support it, please, repost. Remember that Oles Doniy officially offered it first in 2014, and there can be no discrepancy among Ukrainians on this issue, regardless of which parties they represent,” Ukolov believes.
In Ukraine 7th of January - Christmas according to Julian calendar is official state day off but December 25th is not.

Так, вони - проімперські московські і промосковські (в Україні) церковники, безумовно, "знають", що чинять... Але це - т. зв. їхнє "знання" продиктоване і накинуте їм, по суті...

П.Velovs, я не можу і не в праві заперечити слова Господа нашого Іісуса Христа, але скажу московські церковники добре знають, що вони чинять. І тут хотілося б нагадати свою позицію, щодо істерики

А от стосовно "наших ворогів", то, скажімо, російські християни, що підтримують і навіть самі - так чи інакше - беруть участь (прямо чи опосередковано) в цій "гібридній" агресії
