Zelensky’s political consultant: There should be no raiding in the Church

Trying to earn political points on the church issue is wrong. This was stated by the advisor to the election headquarters of presidential candidate Vladimir Zelensky, Dmitry Razumkov, in an interview with the online publication Gordon.

“Petro Poroshenko uses good nice words – army, language, faith. But I would like to use others – economy, development, happiness. It is better that the army be spoken of as guys returning to the location of their units, who peacefully serve, do not think what to wear and how to feed their family, who have a large social package and are generally well provided.

May the believers forgive me: the state has done its job, we have received the local church – that's it. Now we need to ensure the rule of law so that there is no manipulation, raiding or something else – law enforcement officers must clearly work here. Trying to earn political points on this is wrong,” said the political consultant.

As the UOJ reported, earlier the raiders who had seized the Holy Dormition temple of the UOC in Ptichya village, Dubno district, Rovno region, stated that they were immensely grateful to God, Patriarch Bartholomew and President Poroshenko for these events.
