The Patriarch of Jerusalem stunned the delegation from Kyiv: Make peace with the Russians urgently!
A delegation of politicians from Ukraine, who arrived in Jerusalem to negotiate recognition of the schismatic “Kyiv Patriarchate,” was dumbfounded by the words of Patriarch Theophilos III, who called for urgent reconciliation with the Russians.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Andrey Lozovoy from Oleg Lyashko’s party spoke about this on his Facebook page.

“My colleagues and I attended a reception with Patriarch Theophilus III of Jerusalem. The meeting began with his long speech. Favorites: “we consider Ukrainians and Russians to be a single people..”, “our lost brothers led by Philaret, who broke away from the mother church...”, “the main thing is that you make peace with the Russians...”, “we have very good relations with your Metropolitan Onuphry...” And many more in the same repertoire. I wanted... At the very least, just get up and leave,” writes Lozovoy.
“So, after we listened to Theophilus III, he had to listen to us: 1. Ukrainians are a strong and self-sufficient people who have the right to their Church. Moreover, without dictate from the aggressor state. 2. The Primate of the UOC-MP, Metropolitan Onufry, takes a demonstrably pro-Russian position. Moreover, he had the audacity to demonstrably not stand at the honoring of the fallen Heroes during the events on May 8, 2015 in parliament,” the deputy is indignant.
“In many churches and monasteries of the MP in the East and South, weapons were stored and in some places are still preserved (!), they shelter terrorists, in the front-line territories they are engaged in a subversive pro-Moscow underground... even in Western and Central Ukraine, where the pro-Ukrainian attitude is unconditional - even here Moscow priests take an openly anti-state position. Often – demonstrably disgusting. For example, there are characters in robes and with crosses who refuse to perform funeral services for Heroes who gave their lives at the front,” continues comrade-in-arms Lyashko.
“Still, Moscow propaganda is doing its devilish work. But we will kill her. We are stronger,” Lozovoy assures.
