The meeting of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken with “Metropolitan” Epiphany in the Mikhailovsky Cathedral showed that the Americans point out directly that the UOC “was and remains an active participant in the war.” Political scientist Viktor Taran expressed his thoughts on this matter.

On his Facebook page, he wrote that “the joint photo of Epiphany and Blinken is powerful and very symbolic.”

“I cannot imagine such a photo with the Moscow agent Onuphry, who heads the branch of the FSB, which is called the Moscow Orthodox Church,” the expert shares his fantasies.

According to him, “ROC in Ukraine was and remains an active participant in the war in the East.” According to Girkin, who is obviously a great authority for the expert, “militants and weapons were hiding in her temples” and the “Russian world” is advancing, the political scientist writes about a joint photo of the American official and the head of the OCU.

“Well, show this photo to those who say that religion does not matter in the 21st century. Especially to the Americans, who say directly that religion has been and remains one of the key factors of American identity and state,” writes Taran.

The editorial staff of the Raskolam.net presents the political scientist with a photo of Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Onuphry with US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in 2018.
