The founder and long-time leader of “Right Sector,” Dmytro Yarosh, called on Facebook for the total destruction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). According to him, it “must be eliminated completely as a hostile imperial phenomenon.”
At the same time, Yarosh resorted to “military” metaphors.
“Neutralizing one parish of the ‘Russian church’ in Ukraine is like destroying a regiment of rats at the front. Returning one Christian Ukrainian lavra or large monastery to the fold of the Ukrainian Church is like destroying the entire orc army,” Yarosh wrote.
According to him, “UOC FSB priests are total Kremlin agents; there is no place for them on Ukrainian soil.”
“Out with the Moscow Church from Ukraine!” Yarosh demanded.
“Amen,” commented OCU propagandist Sonia Koshkina, known for spreading the slander about the “boy in underwear.”
Earlier, Yarosh had repeatedly called for the destruction of the UOC, declaring that “every UOC priest is even worse than a Moscow puppet – the Pope of Rome.”
