The Primate of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Porfirije, wrote a letter to the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, Kirill, in which he expressed his views on the actions of the Ukrainian authorities towards the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, calling these actions terror and lawlessness, reports the Mospat.ru website.
With great regret, the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church noted that the lamentations of the Orthodox Ukrainian people, loyal to their canonical Church, "do not reach those in whose hands power is concentrated and who are capable of influencing the rulers of Ukraine to stop the persecution and anti-church terror, which is gaining more and more momentum".
As reported, Patriarch Porfirije wrote that he considers the OCU a pseudo-church.
