Metropolitan Theodosius of Cherkassy and Kanev commented on the results of the SBU searches in the Krasnogorsk Zolotonosha convent in the Cherkasy region on December 7, 2022, the Infjrmation and Education Department UOC reports.

“When the Lord wants to punish a person, he takes away his mind. These words were fully manifested in those who yesterday conducted searches in the Krasnogorsk Zolotonoshsky convent in the Cherkasy region,” the bishop noted. Dear, when during searches you throw up propaganda garbage somewhere in a parish church in Transcarpathia, this is sad, but not funny. But when, during searches in the most famous convent in the heart of Ukraine, you toss the flag of Novorossia, you expose yourself to the laughingstock of the whole country. Where is Zolotonosha, and where is Novorossia, in every sense … ”

Metropolitan Theodosius addressed the representatives of the SBU with the question: “Do you really not have adequate consultants who would be imbued with the elementary plausibility of such stuffing, if you have already begun to discredit the Ukrainian Orthodox Church so diligently?”

He emphasized that “the sisters of the Zolotonosha monastery with an average age of 70 years old nuns physically could not control each of you during the” raid “.”
