The Russian Church condemned the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and firmly stressed that the war was a grave sin.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate has accused former president Petro Poroshenko and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. This is stated in the statement of the synod of the UOC-MP dated May 12.
The UOC-MP allegedly condemned the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and strongly stressed that the war was a grave sin. He also called for an end to the bloodshed and, when the negotiation process began, to resolve the conflict with the help of words, not weapons.
“In different regions of Ukraine, there are cases of illegal decisions of local governments to ban or restrict the activities of local religious communities of the UOC. With tacit consent or with the active intervention of local authorities, the seizure of UOC churches The Holy Synod of the UOC declared that all these facts were the result of false religious policy during the leadership of PA Poroshenko and the destructive ideology of the so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The government and the OCU have been one of the reasons for the military aggression in Ukraine, “the statement said.
In addition, the UOC-MP reported that the synod is appealing to President Volodymyr Zelensky with a request to “stop religious strife in Ukrainian society and take the necessary measures against illegal actions against the UOC.”
The UOC-MP’s statement has already caused great social outrage.
Let us recall that the previous Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Epiphanius said that the head of the Moscow Patriarchate Kirill Gundyaev sided with the Antichrist. He said that the ideology of the “Russian world” was no different from the ideology of Nazism.
