What does it mean to advocate for religious freedom during times of war? How do political leaders engage with religious groups? In such circumstances, what is the best policy to simultaneously recognize the human right to religious expression while protecting national sovereignty? Today in Ukraine, these questions are playing out in real time. This virtual flash panel discussion will cover the background and the implications of recent developments on religious freedom within Ukraine, including the controversy around the August 20 law banning the activities of religious groups tied to the Russian Orthodox Church. Join this virtual discussion to hear panelists who approach the question of religious freedom in Ukraine from different angles.
