The new Ukrainian regime is a disaster for Ukraine. But it is a premature delivered creature of the West. West hates the Orthodox Church as the only church that keeps nowadays what was established personally by Jesus' Apostles. Burglarizing a church is a serious sin. Before the cup-d'Estaing in Kiev this kind of vandalism was punishable. Today the bosom nursed fascists in Kiev are not afraid by any law, especially in West Ukraine. There they feel like they can do whatever they want as much as it satisfies the West but keep them far away from the West states territories.
