The OCU hierarch Aleksandr (Drabinko) awarded Bogdan Khodakovsky, the leader of the “Traditions and Order” organization, which Freedom House called an “extremist group”.

In particular, the former metropolitan Alexander wrote on his Facebook page that "the head and members of the All-Ukrainian public organization ‘Tradition and Order’ were awarded with the distinctions of the Pereyaslav-Vishnevoye Eparchy and the Metropolitan Vladimir Foundation".

According to the "hierarch" of the OCU, "the goal of the movement is to build a strong and independent state on the principles of patriotism, market economy, and Christian values".

 

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the British publication Bellingcat accused the leaders of the OCU and the UOC KP of the support for right-wing groups.
