Murayev: Primate of UOC should be carried in the arms for contribution to the prisoner exchange
The deputy expressed bewilderment why Filaret was present during the exchange of prisoners, as it was His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev and All Ukraine who requested Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and President Vladimir Putin to facilitate the prisoner swap.
"People like Metropolitan Onufry should be carried in the arms, because it really brings the Minsk process closer, no matter how we criticize it. This brings the end of the war closer, and it's great," the politician stressed.
Earlier Archbishop Clement of Nezhin and Priluki reported that the UOC, taking the most active part in the exchange of prisoners, distances itself from the political component of this process.
The prisoner exchange took place on December 27 under the "306-for-74" scheme.
