The time has come to launch more attacks on the Moscow Church, said one of the Right Sector leaders, Vasily Labaychuk, known as Krivonos. The radical's call was published on his YouTube channel.

“The time has come for the Ukrainians to strike again at the Moscow fifth column, at their agents, and particularly, which is painful for them, at the Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and at their financial and economic efforts. ...> therefore, we are fighting, and we will definitely win, and our nation will defeat all this Moscow scum," the radical addressed his fellow thinkers.

Let us remind you that Labaychuk personally took part in the seizure of temples of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. So, back in 2015, he was one of the leaders of the attack on the temple in Katerynivka, as a result of which a lot of parishioners were seriously injured.

The UOJ also wrote that the radical admitted the participation of the Right Sector in the seizure of about 50 temples of the UOC and called on to fight against the construction of new churches for the affected communities.
