Dumenko accuses the authorities of "discrediting the OCU"

The OCU called the statements of the head of the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience Olena Bohdan about the role of the UOC in Ukraine discrediting. This is reflected in the statement of the “synod” of the OCU dated October 18, 2022.
According to the document, Bohdan's public comments defend "the existing monopoly of the structure of the Moscow Patriarchate on worship in the Ukrainian shrine."
The “synod” called this situation "outrageous and completely unacceptable."
As the UOJ reported, the head of the State Ethnopolitics stated that while the temples of the UOC are overcrowded, the temples of the OCU are empty.
