The Ukrainian govenrnment has recognized the canonical Orthodox church in Ukraine as "an organization connected to a foreign religious organization," It will allow to seize its property all over the country and forbid it under a court decision a bit later.

Last week Lavrov literally told the main goal of the SMO isn't territory itself. It's protection of the rights of Russian and Russian-speaking people, e. g. using Russian language, keeping Orthodox church secure and so on.

Zelensky has already told they would never give Russian language any status. And now this. Chances for the Trunp's piss deal are dire.
