"Priest" Vasyl Kosiachenko called on Ukrainians to embrace Judaism, arguing that the country's top leaders show an affinity for the religion and that it could unify the nation and help defeat Russia. He made these remarks in the comment section of a Facebook post by Ukraine's Chief Rabbi, Moshe Reuven Azman, about the National Guard chief lighting the menorah.
"To defeat Putin’s Russia, we need a unifying religion. If the President of Ukraine, the commanders of the Armed Forces and the National Guard lean toward Judaism, then perhaps all Ukrainian citizens should adopt Judaism? We’ll defeat the enemy, and then we’ll see. After all, it’s clear that Ukraine will remain occupied if it retains the worldview that its citizens currently have," wrote the "priest".
Earlier, the UOJ reported that singer Katya Chilly expressed outrage over the placement of a Hanukkah menorah in central Kyiv.
