Samuel Milko, a cleric of the Orthodox Nicholas Church in Basel, Switzerland, published a video message to Zelensky in German on his Telegram channel. In the video, he shared his impressions of the film "The Scheme of Raider Seizures of UOC Churches" and urged the President of Ukraine to stop the repression against the UOC made by the NGO “Myriany”.
He stated that during his stay in Ukraine, he witnessed everything that the creators of the film talked about and could confirm every word.
"I needed some time to digest this. After watching this video, everything came back. All the memories. I was in Kyiv. I saw it. It's not funny," said the Swiss cleric.
He emotionally addressed the President of Ukraine: "Please, Mr. Zelensky, stop! In the name of the pious people, the people of Ukraine, stop! No joke. I hope this is clear enough."
As reported, the Myriany film about the technology of the OCU to seize churches has already been released in 4 languages.
