OCU leader Epifaniy Dumenko stated in an interview with the "We Are Ukraine" channel that, at the beginning of the war, UOC priests were involved in an operation to physically eliminate him.

Commenting on circulating rumors in the media about "execution lists" of Ukraine’s VIPs allegedly held by the Russians, the head of the OCU claimed that "he topped these lists."

Dumenko is convinced that the Russians "persistently prepared" for his execution and involved UOC priests to carry out this criminal plan.

"And priests of the Moscow Patriarchate were directly involved in this because, in the early days, we saw numerous reports in the media indicating that they were fire spotters, that they supported and welcomed the occupiers with flowers, even here in the Kyiv region, not to mention other regions in eastern Ukraine," Dumenko stated, adding, "Of course, they were preparing."

Previously, the UOJ reported that, according to Dumenko, the calendar reform makes Ukrainians better and more advanced.
