In "drowsy eye": 1+1 confuses denomination of the priest who made a knife fight

On March 16, "Television news service TSN" of the 1 + 1 channel spread another false story about a drunken fight of "the UOC priest" in Dnipro, writes the Information and Education Department of the UOC.

The Dnepropetrovsk diocese denied this misinformation. "The "former military chaplain in the ATO zone" detained by the police has nothing to do with the clergy of the Dnepropetrovsk diocese and has never belonged to it," said the Education and Information Department of the UOC.

"TSN", citing the "Informant", published the news that in the city of Dnipro the priest of the UOC allegedly "attacked a 15-year-old girl and cut her hand" and did the drunk-driving.

As reported by the UOJ, earlier the Kharkov diocese expressed the rejection of the recent news story of the 1 + 1 channel, in which the channel accused the priest of the UOC Alexander Kanevsky of separatist activities and immoral behavior.
