Procession to Mariupol should be led by its initiator, or it's sending people to slaughter, - Archimandrite Cyril (Hovorun)

This was stated by the famous theologian Archimandrite Cyril (Hovorun).

"Today, on Good Friday, I was supposed to be included in the national telethon on the UA:First - Suspilne channel. Among other things they talked about the initiative regarding the procession to Mariupol", he wrote on his Facebook page.

"He said that those fully aware that they may die should participate exclusively voluntarily. It should certainly be headed by the person who initiates it, that is, Metropolitan Onufriy. Otherwise, it is an irresponsible reference of people to the slaughter," Archimandrite Cyril said.

As reported, the UOC-MP is ready to organize a religious procession to Mariupol to help remove residents and the wounded from the city.

The UOC-MP will also ask to ensure a ceasefire and provide a humanitarian corridor for the passage of a prayer procession in the territory of Mariupol and its environs for the period from Good Friday to Sunday.
