Mosiychuk reports a “special operation” of Bankovaya to discredit Filaret
Head of the UOC KP Filaret
The recent citation by Filaret, leader of the Kiev "patriarchate", of the head of Naftogaz, Andrei Kobolev, is a special operation of the Presidential Administration to discredit Filaret. This opinion was expressed on his Facebook page by MP from the Radical Party Igor Mosiychuk.
According to the deputy, Bankovaya (the street where governmental establishments are located – Ed.) thus decided to deprive Filaret of “popular support” on the eve of the unification council, because Poroshenko himself is in favor of another candidate for the position of the SLC head – Metropolitan Simeon of Vinnitsa and Bar.
At the same time when making comments on this, Mosiychuk changed his point of view and said that it is Moscow that is trying to defame and relegate Filaret.
Earlier, Filaret awarded Andrei Kobolev, the head of Naftogaz, and his first deputy with the orders of Saint Andrew the First-Called of II degree "for their efforts to benefit the Ukrainian state”. At the same time, Kobolev himself caused a scandal on the same day by saying he had sent $ 8 million to his mother in the United States, since he was afraid that in Ukraine this money would be seized from him.
