Epifaniy Dumenko, the leader of the OCU, took to platform X to encourage Georgians to back opposition-organized protests.
"The Orthodox Church of Ukraine and me personally, as its Primate, pray for the people of Georgia, we wish our brothers and sisters to protect their independence and their future as a free European nation. The truth will prevail! May God bless all who are on the side of truth!" Dumenko wrote.
It is worth noting that the Georgian Church has condemned President Salome Zourabichvili’s call for children to join protests.
As previously reported by the UOJ, the Georgian Church urged all sides to respect each other's political views and refrain from violence "for the sake of Christian values."
