The ex-head of the Right Sector Dmitry Yarosh on the eve of an urgent meeting of the NSDC said on Facebook that the UOC is allegedly an agent network of the Russian Federation and called for its liquidation.

“The ROC in Ukraine has as much to do with the Christian religion as a guinea pig to Guinea,” wrote Yarosh. "The activity of the Russian ‘church’  poses an immediate threat to the existence of our State in the War of Ukraine for its Independence, therefore it must be eliminated, its imperial activity prohibited, while property and material resources returned to the Ukrainian people."

According to Yarosh, the UOC was created "by the communist party banned in Ukraine, headed by the executioner Stalin, and during all the years of Ukraine's independence this brainchild of the NKVD, hiding behind religious slogans, has been engaged in targeted anti-state activities" by turning religious buildings (temples and monasteries) into nurseries of anti-Ukrainian propaganda and bases and headquarters of Russian militants."

Finally, with regard to his post, Yarosh added, “Down with Moscow priests from Ukraine! Victory will be ours!”

As the UOJ previously reported, Epiphany blessed the Right Sector ultra-nationalist organization for the creation of the Order of Bandera.
