"Kill priests and burn them with fire": C14 set to seize more UOC shrines

"Who’s storming these churches? Why are they afraid to shoot these priests?" Sergei Zorin asks the leader of the C14 group, Yevhen Karas. With this question, he is reacting to a message from Karas about the radicals’ seizing the Archangel Michael Cathedral in Cherkasy and promising more assaults on UOC churches.

His exact question reads: "What kind of cowards are storming these churches? Why are they afraid to shoot these priests, what are they afraid of?"

This and other comments from Karas’s closed group were shared on the kozakTv1 telegram channel.

Another subscriber, identified as AA, notes that the police will not intervene in this mayhem; rather, "they are giving the right people a chance to deal with this issue permanently. Without trial or investigation."

Tucson, in turn, asks: "Recommend a good spray to gas ROC agents (meaning UOC believers – Ed.)."

To which he receives a reply: "Take a gas canister and torch them with fire, it works."

"But one could end up burning themselves too. The current choice is between Cobra, Teren, and Pepper Co," Tucson responds.

"It’s best to use a canister with a burner. They’ll start burning right away, like pigs. Attach straps to the canister, get a German helmet...)))," advises Dm.Mash, adding, "Remember how your grandpa would burn Soviet scums..."

Anton requests: "Bring at least one FSB priest to Kupiansk, so we can beat him up a few times."

The conversation then shifts to plans for the next assaults, which Karas announced in his audio message.

"Sign up for acts of 'sacred catechism' of demons in the roc-fsb cassocks. There will be many more 'liturgies' down the road," he said, referring to the storming of the cathedral in Cherkasy.

Olha Yevtushevska asks: "Yevhen, when can we expect such a wonderful 'liturgy' in Zaporizhzhia?"

Sergiy suggests: "Next, let's take over the Pochaiv Lavra to sweep the russian priests out of Ukraine like garbage."

Iryna Tolochko writes: "Pay attention to the Korets Convent!"

As previously reported by the UOJ, the head of C14, Karas, thanked his followers for the seizure of the UOC cathedral in Cherkasy.
