International lawyer of the UOC Robert Amsterdam commented on his X on Dumenko's meeting with the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Ukraine, Julie Davis, where the head of the OCU assured the American diplomat that all reports of persecution of the UOC are "Russian disinformation campaigns".
"Frightening to see BIG LIE tactics being employed in Ukraine!" Amsterdam wrote, reposting the UOJ publication in America about this meeting, and highlighting in caps "BIG LIE." It should be noted that BIG LIE is a political term that usually refers to the propaganda technique of repeating a false statement until people start to believe it.
As reported, Dumenko and Zoria discussed with Julie Davis "issues of ensuring freedom of religion in Ukraine and the attempts of the aggressor state to use religious organizations in its hybrid war against our state."
