When will Poroshenko quit the "Moscow Patriarchate"?

Recently, members of Poroshenko's "European Solidarity" party in Chernivtsi announced a bold step. After 11 years of Russian aggression in Donbas and 3 years of full-scale invasion, they decided to leave the "Church of the Moscow Patriarchate". This was stated on the official "ES" page on social media.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that until recently, these brave men and women have been parishioners of two "Moscow" churches in Chernivtsi, and perhaps even engaged in some form of subversive activities on behalf of the Kremlin. But now, that is over.

Likely, their colleagues in other cities of Ukraine will follow them. And most importantly – finally, Petro Poroshenko will leave the "ROC". Yes, he actively participated in receiving the Tomos for the OCU but that doesn't necessarily mean much. He has never publicly announced his leaving this Church, so formally, he is still there, "serving Moscow".

But seriously, the guys from Chernivtsi's "European Solidarity" publicly admitted to forgery and fraud – they were "transferring" religious communities of the UOC to the jurisdiction of another denomination. And if they are scammers, then all other participants in this disgraceful gathering are scammers as well. The authorities are obligated to take this into account.

As soon as the law is implemented in Ukraine, these "believers" will answer for everything.
