Odious cleric of the OCU, blogger, and deputy of the Poltava City Council Oleksandr Dediukhin outraged Ukrainians with his cynical statement about the hitting of a television tower in Kharkiv on April 22, 2024.
"It is reported that the cursed enemies in Kharkiv damaged the most sacred - the television tower, which was broadcasting a telethon. Horror! And what should the wise people do now? How to find out the truth???" wrote Dediukhin on his Facebook page.
The blogger's publication was encountered with great misunderstanding on social media.
Thus, sympathizer of the OCU, journalist, politician, and officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Victor Tregubov asked to convey to Dediukhin about his "questionable moral and intellectual qualities."
"Well, maybe you should also know that sometimes towers are used by the people for observation, communication, alerting, and radio jamming."
TSN also reacted to the blogger, mentioning that this is not the first time he had been embroiled in a scandal.
"... He expressed the opinion that people need to be careful during bad weather and 'had better not die now' because it is difficult to arrange funerals due to the blizzard," recalled 1+1 about the cleric of the OCU.
Obviously, after such a reaction, Dediukhin deleted the post from his Facebook page. As of April 23, it is no longer available in the blogger's publications.
As the UOJ reported, the "dean" of the OCU Khomiak drew mustaches on parishioners' faces during the unction sacrament.
