Satanist Bohdan Orishchenko, who calls himself "mage Belial", published a video where he thanks President Volodymyr Zelensky for the opportunity to perform a satanic ritual near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

According to Orishchenko, only under the current government was he able to move unhindered past the holy sites with a coffin and pentagrams.

He emphasized that "Zelensky dealt with the Moscow Patriarchate and Vadym Novynskyi," whom "mage Belial" called his personal enemies.

According to Orishchenko, it was Zelensky who gave him "the opportunity to conduct the funeral service for the Moscow Patriarchate under the walls of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, and allowed me to walk there with a coffin, pentagrams, and so on."

"I really had the opportunity to deal with the Moscow Patriarchate precisely under President Zelensky. The only one who could allow me a lot was only President Zelensky," said "mage Belial".

He emphasized that he does not need money from Zelensky: "I don't need anything. I am grateful to the president for ousting those people who oppressed me, humiliated and insulted me. This is the Kyiv Theological Academy and Seminary," Orishchenko concluded.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that "mage Belial" came to the Lavra to campaign for the OCU.
