The Transcarpathian “bishop” of the OCU Vladimir (Varsonofy) Rudnik called for the expulsion of the Uniate cleric Roman Kurakh from the country for his words about peace between the “fraternal peoples” of Ukraine and Russia. Rudnik called him a “Rashist” and called on the leadership of the Mukachevo diocese to “give a proper assessment” to his statements.

The “bishop” of the OCU stated that “in this Russian-Ukrainian war there is only one great and wonderful people” – Ukrainian, “who will never “embrace” with their murderers.” He wrote this comment on his Facebook page.
