“Bishop of Kharkov” OCU Mitrofan addressed the clergy and believers of the UOC.  The appeal was published on the official website of the Kharkiv “eparchy” of the OCU.

The “hierarch” called for the sake of “victory and preservation of statehood, spirituality and identity” to unite “against the common enemy of Ukraine – the Russian invaders.”

The “bishop” is sure that among the clergy and believers of the UOC “there are many true patriots of their homeland who do not agree with the position that a part of the leadership of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has chosen and expresses” and therefore “sincerely invites” them to the OCU.

“The time has come to act!” the “hierarch” of the OCU emphasized.
