Синод Константинопольского Патриархата признал независимость Украинской Православной Церкви

Священный Синод Константинопольского патриархата под председательством Патриарха Варфоломея подтвердил решение о предоставлении Автокефалии Церкви Украины. Это позволит Украинской Церкви отделиться от Русской Православной Церкви.

В своем решении Священный Синод заявил, что он решил также восстановить Ставропигию Вселенского Патриарха в Киеве, одну из его многочисленных Ставропигий в Украине, которая там всегда существовала.

Ряд православных епископов и священнослужителей, которые ранее обвинялись в расколе церкови, теперь восстановлены в свои прежние статусы по решению Синода, созванного Патриархом Бортоломеем.

Однако, ключевое решение Синода было связано с независимостью Украинской Церкви, отменив "юридическое обязательство Синодального письма 1686 года, изданного по обстоятельствам того времени, которое предоставило право через икономию Патриарху Москвы назначать митрополита Киевского"

Синод призвал все стороны "избегать присвоения церквей, монастырей и других объектов, а также всех других актов насилия и возмездия/.../".

До сих пор Украинская Православная Церковь была самоуправляющейся церковью в составе Московского Патриархата.

Украинская Православная Церковь Киевского Патриархата и Украинская Автокефальная Православная Церковь разорвали отношения и до сих пор прибывали в расколе. Попытки утвердить независимость Украинской Церкви продолжаются с момента обретения Украиной независимости в 1991 году. В ноябре 1991 года Филарет, который тогда возглавлял Украинскую Православную Церковь Московского Патриархата, призывал предоставить автокефальный статус Украинской Церкви. В мае 1992 года он был понижен в должности с должности главы местной церкви. Однако Филарет отказался выполнить решение Русской Православной Церкви и при поддержке украинских чиновников объявил о создании Украинской Православной Церкви Киевского Патриархата. В феврале 1997 года он был отлучен от церкви и подвергнут анафеме за сектантскую деятельность по решению Ассамблеи святых Русской Православной Церкви.

В апреле 2018 года президент Украины Петр Порошенко обратился к Вселенскому Патриарху Константинопольскому Варфоломею с просьбой предоставить автокефалию Украинской Церкви.

7 сентября Синод Константинопольского Патриархата в рамках подготовки к предоставлению автокефалии Украинской Православной Церкви назначил своих экзархов (посланников) в Киеве, который является канонической территорией Московского Патриархата.

23 сентября Патриарх Варфоломей заявил во время Божественной литургии в Стамбуле, что Украина имеет право на получение статуса автокефалии, а Патриархат Константинопольский имеет право предоставлять автокефалию.

Священный Синод Русской Православной Церкви ответил, сказав, что действия Константинополя были грубым нарушением церковных канонов и перестали упоминать Патриарха Варфоломея во время церковных богослужений и проведения совместных служений с епископами Вселенского Патриархата.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

Russia could attack a NATO country within the next five years, the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, said in a stark new warning. "NATO's own defences can hold for now," Rutte warned in Berlin, but conflict was "next door" to Europe, and he feared "too many are quietly complacent, and too many don't feel the urgency, too many believe that time is on our side. "Russia is already escalating its covert campaign against our societies," Rutte said in a speech in Germany. "We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured." Earlier this month, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said his country was not planning to go to war with Europe, but it was ready "right now" if Europe wanted to - or started a war. But similar reassurances were given by Moscow in 2022, just before 200,000 Russian troops crossed the border and invaded Ukraine. Putin has accused European countries of hindering US efforts to bring peace in Ukraine - a reference to the role Ukraine's European allies have recently played in trying to change a US peace plan to end the war, whose initial draft was seen as favouring Russia. But Putin was not sincere, Nato's secretary-general said in the German capital, Berlin. Supporting Ukraine, he added, was a guarantee for European security. "Just imagine if Putin got his way; Ukraine under the boot of Russian occupation, his forces pressing against a longer border with Nato, and the significantly increased risk of an armed attack against us." Russia's economy has been on a war footing for more than three years now - its factories churn out ever more supplies of drones, missiles and artillery shells. According to a recent report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Russia has been producing each month around 150 tanks, 550 infantry fighting vehicles, 120 Lancet drones and more than 50 artillery pieces. The UK, and most of its Western allies, are simply not anywhere near this point. Analysts say it would take years for Western Europe's factories to come close to matching Russia's mass-production of weapons. "Allied defence spending and production must rise rapidly, our armed forces must have what they need to keep us safe," the Nato chief said.
