On July 2, 2025, political analyst Kostiantyn Bondarenko commented on his Telegram channel about Zelensky’s decision to revoke the Ukrainian citizenship of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry.
He recalled that after being elected president, Zelensky “professed deep respect and even declared his intention to become Orthodox.”
“Volodymyr Oleksandrovych! Your advisers set you up a bit. You timed your decree to the wrong symbolic date. Today the Orthodox Church really commemorates the Apostle Jude, the brother of the Lord. But that is another Judas – not Iscariot, not your patron whom you emulate and intend to surpass in everything,” the analyst emphasized.
Recall that Zelensky revoked Metropolitan Onuphry’s Ukrainian citizenship.
