In an interview with Radio Liberty, OCU “bishop” Kliment Kushch, a Russian citizen, called on Ukrainians to go to the front.

“We must change our attitude toward mobilization,” Kushch said. “Anti-mobilization sentiments, which today have spread like a malignant tumor across Ukraine, hit very hard at those soldiers who have been fighting in the trenches since 2022.”

According to him, “those who fuel the movement against mobilization do not understand that they will be destroyed as a nation, because today the Ukrainian is the fiercest enemy for all the ‘Rashists.’”

Kushch urged people not to fear death at the front, because death “walks everywhere, not only in war.”

“Just look how many people perished trying to run away – dying in the Carpathians, drowning in the Tisza,” the “hierarch” emphasized. In contrast, Kushch insisted, “he who goes to the front is doing the work of good, and the Lord said: ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.’ They will never perish in the memory of people and, more importantly, they will not perish in the eyes of God.”

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Kushch had urged Ukrainians “not to stage shows at the TRC,” but to go to the front.
