One of the speakers of the UGCC, Doctor of Theology Yustyn Boiko, compared Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow to the Holy Fire, which descends in Jerusalem on Great Saturday. He posted a photo on Facebook of fires in Moscow caused by Ukrainian UAV strikes and commented: “The descent of the Holy Fire.”

The UGCC cleric reposted a publication by Nataliia Boiko with his own comment. She had written: “God, how beautiful!”

Earlier, the UOJ reported that Boiko had complained about his name being added to the list on the “God-Fighters of Ukraine” website.
