"Dear brothers and sisters! It is time to defend Metropolitan Arseniy, who is dear to the hearts and souls of the faithful. I ask that all Orthodox Ukraine rise in defense of Metropolitan Arseniy. We can no longer tolerate the abuse of our shepherd, which has been going on for almost two years," the hierarch declared.
