“We are immensely grateful to God for these events, this is very good for Ukraine,” said the member of the OCU.
The "priest" added, "We are grateful to Patriarch Bartholomew and we are grateful for the great things that our President Petro Poroshenko did for our country, the church, and the Ukrainian people."
