Infrastructure Minister proposes to deport UOC in "Stolypin carriages"
Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Vladimir Omelyan
The Ukrainian politician, commenting on the post of Eustratiy Zoria about the order received by the UOC KP to vacate the premises of the “only Ukrainian Orthodox church” in Simferopol, was outraged by the behavior of the “barbarians” who decided to “take other people's property”.
“Can the Russian Orthodox Church have an order to leave Ukraine within 24 hours in Stolypin carriages, allowing them to take food for three days?” Omelyan wrote on his Facebook page. “Or is it undemocratic, intolerant and unacceptable for democracy, and only barbarians can do everything: kill, throw to jail, take away other people's property? They are barbarians, what to expect from them.”
As the UOJ reported, earlier the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that “representatives of the Russian Church” had nothing to do in Ukraine and recommended them to go “home”.
