A photo of a mural in Petro Poroshenko's home chapel, depicting what the post describes as a "divine family", was published on the Telegram channel Only News World/UA.

"One can only wonder what must have been going through Petro and Maryna's minds to come up with something like this," the channel's administrators commented in surprise.

The mural shows Petro, his wife Maryna, and their children dressed in light-colored clothes against the background of a church.

As previously reported by the Union of Orthodox Journalists, a lawyer is demanding that Poroshenko clarify whether he still serves as a "deacon" of the UOC.
