Volyn Regional Council deputy Yulia Vusenko demanded that the Lutsk mayor exclude the UOC from the Lutsk Council of Churches. Vusenko wrote about this on her Facebook page.
In particular, the deputy speaks about the exclusion from the Council of the head of the Volyn Eparchy of the UOC Archbishop Nathanael (Krykota).
"How many more guys do we have to bury in the Volyn communities so that those who make the decision today will affirmatively side with the Ukrainians and decide for themselves whether to serve God or mammon?" asks Vusenko. “And when many states have recognized the Russian aggression as genocide against the Ukrainian people, and the Lutsk authorities are still unable to make a decision on resetting the advisory body under the Lutsk mayor, it is just a shame. And I believe we can. Because we can see the future of Ukraine without Moscow's FSB popes".
As earlier reported, Poroshenko thanked law enforcers for helping to seize churches of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
