Boxer Oleksandr Usyk came to support the participants of the prayer standing under the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. This was reported by human rights activist Viktoriya Kokhanovska, who published the corresponding photo.
In the photo, Usyk is standing near the Lavra Church of Saint Sergius of Radonezh next to the UOC worshippers.
"Today (Usyk) supported the UOC prayer participants standing for the protection of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, I'm publishing it as news," wrote Kokhanovska, noting that she has "a lingering pain".
"The UOC: we are different in the one Church of Christ," she concluded.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that in 2023 Usyk confirmed his faithfulness to the UOC, but stated the need for its cleansing from «scoundrel» priests.
