A fake leaflet about the "Vinnytsia Metropolitan of the UOC-KP" Varsonofiy, found at an AFU checkpoint near Bakhmut, is being circulated on the Internet.
The photo was published by war correspondent Boris Rozhin.
The leaflet contains a call to "wipe the Russian nation off the face of the earth", among other things.
"You are a defender of Ukraine. Your duty is to defend the independence from the Russian occupiers. Your task is to wipe the Russian nation off the face of the earth. Your enemy is the Russian world, which damages the human soul. Killing Russians is not a sin," the leaflet says.
The signature under the leaflet reads Metropolitan Varsonofiy of Vinnytsia and Bar. There is no mention of "Metropolitan Varsonofiy of Vinnytsia and Bar" on the list of "hierarchs" on the UOC-KP website.
Metropolitan Varsonofiy heads the Vinnytsia Eparchy of the UOC, but as experts have established, the signature of Metropolitan Varsonofiy on the leaflet is not authentic. The fake leaflet was made by a person who does not distinguish between the UOC and the UOC-KP.
As previously reported, clones of the petition "Do not ban the UOC" have appeared on the Cabinet of Ministers' website.
