Ex-Metropolitan of the UOC Alexander Drabinko, on the initiative of the leaders of the OCU, was excluded from the lists of participants in mourning events that took place in the National Museum of Holodomor Victims. This is reported by the page “For the Ukrainian Church“, which is close to the UOC-KP.
The message also says that Drabinko arrived at the museum at the appointed time, but it turned out there that he was not present on the list of participants in which he had been previously included.
“When they began to analyze what had happened, it became known: this was an instruction from the head of the OCU, Epiphany Dumenko. When he learned that Drabinko should be there, he ordered not to let him in at the last moment. Metropolitan Alexander, like a boy, was sent home so that he would not stand in front of the cameras, in front of the authorities and the proud people. Instead, there were other hierarchs, priests, and a crowd of subdeacons.
Oleksandr Drabinko, in the best traditions, was told that this was a decision of the Office of the President of Ukraine. We checked the information through our channels and found out that neither the Office, nor the organizing committee of the event had anything to do with this. By the way, one of the reasons that Bishop Adrian Kulyk was banned was not the beating of a woman, but the fact that Adrian Kulik was part of the cohort of sympathizers of Metropolitan Alexander Drabinko,” the authors of the page note, informing that the famous video with Kulyk on ICTV appeared two weeks after the incident, but most importantly, after the visit of the victim-neighbor to Epiphany. And ICTV, as Epiphany said himself, is a TV channel friendly to the OCU.”
Earlier it was reported that “Bishop” Adrian Kulyk was banned from ministry in the OCU for a year because of his attack on a neighbor.
