Answering a question from journalist Vasyl Holovanov about the fate of the UOC in Ukraine, Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak said that the authorities were ending the two-churchism era.
“We need to learn how to close the doors. In 1991, we did not close the doors behind the Russian Federation, and we have what we have. There cannot be two identical Churches in Ukraine, especially since one of them has relations with the aggressor country. It seems to me that everything will happen like this: we will end the era of two-churchism, we will not have two churches, but there will be a single local Orthodox Church, and the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra will be Ukrainian to the fullest extent of this word,” says Podoliak.
The adviser to the head of the OP also believes that the UOC must certainly be called the ROC, so that people who continue to go there are aware that in this way they support the army of the aggressor country.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Podoliak dared to call the UOC metropolitans agents of the FSB.
