It is necessary to “knock the ground out from under their feet” from those who testify that people are moving to the OCU as a result of raiding. The OCU expert, religious scholar Lyudmila Filipovich, convinces this, reports Gazeta.ua.

“The same Putin cannot understand in any way that this is the will of the people. Epiphany is calm, makes peace-loving calls and is ready for dialogue. However, the other side does not want this,” the expert says, adding that the ROC is “Putin’s last bastion” in Ukraine.

“Epiphany understands this. He knows that it is impossible to force the transition by force. Everything needs to be won gradually – both communities and influence. The head of the OCU builds up muscle – trains personnel, works for communication with the Greeks. Because the United States are behind them. When America starts to fight against Russia, the latter will not stand it,” added Lyudmila Filipovich.
