At the opening of the "Ukrainian School of Management," the head of the UGCC, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, assured those present that Ukraine today is a model of freedom for the whole world.
According to him, "in a world where the majority of the population lives under the yoke of totalitarianism, Ukraine remains a country that goes against the tide, preserving the voice of a free person."
"We as a nation are interesting, bright... perhaps today we are perceived as equals because we are free people. And we speak as free people," the head of the Uniates assured.
He told those present that "Ukrainians are free people, so we must give the world hope that it is possible and necessary to be a free person."
As earlier reported, Shevchuk, thinking that the broadcast microphone was off, accidentally admitted that he hides men from mobilization.
