First Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Sergey Trofimov believes that the policy of the previous head of State regarding the Church was quite wicked. He spoke about this in an interview with Dmitry Gordon.
Commenting on a religious topic, Trofimov noted that he is a believer and a parishioner of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
At the same time, he emphasized that during the cadence of the previous president of the country Petro Poroshenko, a very large amount of time was devoted to “church issues” and noted that Poroshenko’s policy regarding the Church had “a rather wicked vector” that “discredited the actions of millions of Orthodox Ukrainians”.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the First Deputy Head of the President’s Office believes that the law on renaming the UOC is pressure and political manipulation, and people themselves decide which denomination they belong to.
