Then Poroshenko and his wife went to the Catholic and Uniate cathedrals. And only at the end we arrived at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, which belongs to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate, where Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev conducted the service.
As you know, Onufriy refused to get up from his seat during Poroshenko’s speech in the Verkhovna Rada glorifying the so-called. heroes of the ATO. The Kiev Metropolitan calls the conflict in Donbass a civil war and calls for its speedy end, while the Ukrainian authorities reject compromise and insist on war to a victorious end.
The “Kiev Patriarchate” and Greek Catholics have actively supported Ukrainian nationalists since the beginning of the Euromaidan confrontation, and are now supplying their confessors to units participating in the Donbass operation to suppress the Russian uprising.
