On statements that all videos of TRC mobilization are fake

`The head of the Rada Humanitarian Committee, MP Mykyta Poturaiev, is one of the main adversaries of the UOC, who does everything to destroy it. His statements about the Church have long been beyond decency. One can at least recall the mocking words that after the ban on the UOC, its communities can "open casinos or store vegetables" in their churches but they will be prohibited from conducting services.
And now Poturaiev makes a new statement, no longer on a church topic. According to him, almost all videos on social networks about forced detentions by the TRC are fake.
"Almost all! That is, either filmed not in Ukraine (in temporarily occupied territories), or completely created with the help of artificial intelligence. These are just deepfakes," the MP stated.
How to take such words is for each person to decide. But at this point, almost everyone has relatives or acquaintances who have been subjected, shall we say, to a not entirely voluntary mobilization. Some of them are no longer alive. The military enlistment offices are taking even UOC clergy, including bishops. To claim that all such cases are “fakes”, one should have a completely crippled conscience, or, as people might say nowadays, “a conscience with special needs”.
It has long been noticed that people who try to destroy the Church "manifest" themselves in many other fields. Some end up in prison for theft and corruption, others get into public scandals because of their peculiar morality, and others, due to thirst for power, simply lose their human face.
We do not know if this is related to the actions of certain forces, or if these are just rotten souls, but it is impossible not to notice such a pattern. As one Russian propagandist said: "Coincidence? I don't think so."
