Patriarch Irinej of Serbia
The website "Mirotvorets" ("Peacemaker") reports that "the Serbian Orthodox Church publicly spoke out a strong protest against Kiev’s request to grant autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church."
"Now the suffering Ukrainian Church, where St. Prince Vladimir baptized the people of Holy Rus, now desecrated by the sacrilege of schismatics, violence and bloodshed," Patriarch Irinej said at the awards ceremony of the International Public Foundation for the Unity of Orthodox Nations in the Hall of the Church Councils of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. "Everyone who helps Ukrainian schismatics is not only an enemy of the Russian Church and the Russian world, but also of all Orthodox Slavonic peoples and the whole Orthodox world."
Filaret (Denisenko) claims to be the head of the planned SLC.
On December 27, 2017, the "Mirotvorets" website, found with the illegal publication of personal data of Ukrainian citizens and foreigners and having scandalized Ukraine before the UN, was highly commended by the Kiev Patriarchate.
The head of the military clergy department of the UOC KP "Metropolitan" John (Yaremenko) congratulated on the Day of Counterintelligence "the team of the centre for the investigation of signs of crimes against the national security of Ukraine, peace, human security and the international legal order "Mirotvorets" and with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Filaret of Kiev and All Rus-Ukraine awarded the "Mirotvorets" team with the medal "For sacrifice and love of Ukraine".
