The head of DESS, Viktor Yelensky, told the former editor-in-chief of TRK "Hlas" Ilona Sokolovska how UOC clerics can avoid mobilization.
The official said that today not only the UOC clergy are subject to mobilization but also "religious communities that are not included in the list of non-profit organizations or have not submitted tax reports".
According to him, today up to half of the religious organizations in Ukraine do not meet the criteria for belonging to critical infrastructure. After this, Yelensky recommended that "religious organizations meet these criteria".
Regarding UOC clerics, the DESS head advised that "they should not belong to those religious organizations whose statutes have lost their validity in terms of their names".
Earlier, the UOJ reported that a mobilized UOC priest was killed at the front.
