The head of the legal service of the UOC-KP, Neonila Tkachenko, predicts disappointing prospects for the “bishop” of the OCU Pavel Yuristy. She said that his conflict with the chaplains is complementary with his the scandalous actions with Filaret’s supporters in Odessa, where the Yuristy served before being transferred to Khmelnitsky.

“Yuristy, the bishop of the OCU, who was hardly got rid of in Odessa, was transferred to Podillia (Khmelnytsky region) due to the fact that he became the reason for the failure of the operation “Tomos” at the all-Ukrainian level. After all, if not for him, not for his attempt to subjugate the laity of the Kyiv Patriarchate in Odessa, who knows what would happen to the Patriarchate today, and even to the Patriarch himself…

This “bishop”, let the highly worthy lords forgive me, became famous in Odessa for hiring certain people of a characteristic profession to incite interfaith enmity, they difficulty navigate religious processes, but have learned well to speculate on patriotism, and opposing them to the communities of the Kyiv Patriarchate. On his “account” there are several dozen battered women, a hundred appropriated churches belonging to the UOC-KP, the appropriation of my personal legal library and the vehicle of the Kyiv Patriarchate,” Tkachenko writes on her Facebook.

As previously reported, Yuristy forbade his clerics to appear in public without wearing a cassock and to communicate with journalists.
