Yustyn Boyko, a priest of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), said in a comment to the Lviv-based outlet NTA that those who attend UOC churches are “traitors,” and that to “defeat” the UOC, one must “work” with its priests.

“When it comes to the Moscow Patriarchate in Lviv, we proclaimed that we had defeated it. No – we only changed the signs. And that must be acknowledged. When we start working with the priests, then we will achieve victory,” said Boyko.

Speaking about UOC believers who are forced to secretly attend services in private apartments, the Greek Catholic cleric declared that “these are people who have made a choice in favor of themselves – who have become Muscovites, have become traitors.”

“These are people within the Orthodoxy of the Moscow Patriarchate, whose fixed idea is Patriarch Kirill, Putin, and the Russian World,” Boyko said. According to him, “this disease is cured by time and by death.”

Earlier, the UOJ reported that, according to an OCU cleric, attending UOC churches is equivalent to treason.
