Member of Parliament from the Chernivtsi region Heorhiy Mazurashu stated that Ukrainian society must not divide people into “right” and “wrong” on linguistic or religious grounds. He emphasized that among the parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church there are many who actively defend the country.
“I know plenty of people who attend UOC churches and at the same time fight, defend, volunteer, and help the army. But part of society – the radicalized part, the simply thoughtless part – says: these are all our enemies. What enemies?” the MP noted.
According to him, people must not be forbidden to speak the language in which they feel comfortable, nor to attend the Church they choose.
Earlier, MP Heorhiy Mazurashu stated that the norms of the anti-church law allow it to be applied in a manual, arbitrary way.
