Volyn Regional Council deputy Andrii Bokoch published a text on Facebook dedicated to Forgiveness Sunday. In it, Bokoch asks forgiveness “from everyone whom I may have somehow hurt, whom I may have offended in any way, willingly or unwillingly, by word, deed, or thought.”
But then the deputy clarified that he excludes UOC believers from his request for forgiveness – he is not asking them to forgive him.
“But I cannot and will not ask forgiveness from supporters of the Moscow Patriarchate, from whose mouths pour downpours of curses – there is no love for one’s neighbor in their words; only hatred has been kindled there. Forgiveness cannot be fake and cannot justify evil. And I do not forgive orcs and their henchmen,” Bokoch said.
The deputy is an aide to MP Huz and one of the initiators of the expulsion of the UOC community from the Dormition Cathedral in Volodymyr.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that MP Huz discussed with officials of the Volyn Regional Military Administration the seizure of a UOC monastery in Myltsi.
