On April 6, 2023, Oleksiy Danilov, the head of the National Security and Defense Council, thanked those who “resolved the issue” with the UOC in Lviv and Khmelnytsky live on Channel 24.
Danilov said that “today we are not fighting religion,” but “if someone wants to communicate with God, please, communicate.”
According to him, "not a single institution that is related to the Russian Federation, to their community, even the religious community that cooperates with the Russian terrorist regime, will exist in the territory of our state."
“I am sincerely grateful to those citizens who have already resolved this issue in the territory of the Khmelnytsky and Lviv regions (with the UOC – Ed.), the rest of the regions will definitely be freed from these representatives of the Russian Federation, who are still in the territory of our country,” the official said.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Danilov welcomed the demolition of the UOC temple in Lviv.
