The current situation clearly showed the absurdity of all the accusations against the UOC all these years. Accusations that allegedly the UOC is waiting for Putin, Russia. After all, as soon as the Russian troops attacked Ukraine, the UOC did not rush to greet them cordially, but through the mouth of the Primate condemned the invasion, called on everyone to defend the country and blessed the army, began to collect help for the army, opened its temples to shelter people, and turned the basements into bomb shelters and shelter for people. Archpriest Nikolai Danilevich, deputy of the Information and Education Department of the UOC, wrote about this in Telegram.

“Isn’t it obvious? Isn’t this an effective proof that the UOC was, is and will be with its country and people? Isn’t this a sentence for years of dirty false accusations, defamation and artificial formation of the image of the enemy from the UOC and all that ideology and its creators ?

After the end of the war, the religious policy of the country, as well as the information policy in the sphere of religion, should be reviewed. The media must stop indiscriminately blaming the UOC and presenting the Church as an enemy, and thereby divide our people. Although, it is better to do it now,” the priest writes.
