An OCU cleric from Kyiv, Serhiy Tkachuk, announced on his Facebook page that the Ukrainian mufti Said Ismagilov had given him a glucometer and expressed his gratitude in a manner unusual for a Christian clergyman.
“Allah is with us, and victory over the infidel Moscow occupiers, the children of shaitan!” Tkachuk wrote. In the comments under his post, he shared a UOJ publication quoting Ismagilov as saying that the war with the Russian Federation is a jihad for Ukraine.
“When Orthodox Ukrainians and Muslims of Ukraine unite in a joint struggle against the children of shaitan, the Moscow occupiers, this causes great rage in them and active diarrhea,” Tkachuk stated.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that, according to Tkachuk himself, he had stormed the Lavra twice and would go to storm it a third time.
