Head of the OCU: Killing invaders is not a sin

The head of the OCU, Epifaniy Dumenko, said on the air of the telethon that his structure does not consider it a sin to wish death on the enemy and kill Russian soldiers.

“We do not seek to kill our neighbors. But since they came to our home, we are defending our Motherland, hence defending it even through killing the enemy is not a sin,” said Epifaniy Dumenko.

As the UOJ reported, the Metropolitan of Boryspil and Brovary appealed to the faithful of the UOC to unite in prayer.
