Russia says US behind Ukraine pressure on Moscow-linked Orthodox church

Russia's Foreign Ministry said late on Sunday that the US was behind the pressure that Ukrainian authorities have been exerting on the Russian-aligned wing of the Orthodox Church in Kyiv.

The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which Kyiv says has ties with Russia, defied an eviction order last week from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery in the capital. 

On Saturday, a top Ukrainian cleric from the church was sentenced to house arrest.
