Writer-nationalist urges Kiev Patriarchate to seize UOC churches

Representatives of the Kiev Patriarchate should go and seize the chapel of the UOC in the village of Khlipovka. This was stated by the writer-nationalist, the winner of the Shevchenko Prize, the author of the novel "Black Raven" Vasyl Shkliar on the air of the Voice of Freedom broadcast.

"The Ukrainians are so bad, meek, consider that the truth will win, somehow it will be resolved, we will wait ... It is necessary that the community take everything in its own hands and do not expect any instructions. Move, go to the police or to the district council. They do not listen to you – go and do yourself. You have the right to do everything on your own," he said.
