Ukraine should restrict activities of the UOC-MP as an accomplice of Ukraine’s enemy, - Viktor Nebozhenko - фото 1
Viktor Nebozhenko, Director of the Ukrainian Barometer sociological service, believes that within the perspective of national security, the conflict of Ukraine with the Moscow Patriarchate (MP) during the Russian-Ukrainian war should be resolved in favor of Ukraine, not Russia. Any form of delaying this political rather than confessional conflict over the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra benefits Putin's Russia.

He wrote about this on Facebook:

"One country, Russia, which attacked Ukraine, controls the Church of another country, Ukraine, which is the victim of aggression.

The next step is the "zeroing out" and depoliticization of the Pochayiv Lavra. This Church (MP), perhaps against the will of its active parishioners, is objectively used as a "fifth column" of the Kremlin in its fight against Ukraine. of the Kremlin in its fight against Ukraine. Therefore, it is the Ukrainian state that should use legal methods to decisively and significantly limit the activities of this church (MP) as an accomplice of the enemy of Ukraine throughout the country.

Traditional believers of this church (MP) are not to blame and have a really large choice in Ukrainian denominations, and the church itself, which is run from Moscow, is very dangerous for Ukraine during the war because it is used against national interests.

During the war, the sermons of pro-Moscow priests in churches (MP) are no less important than the shells and rockets of the Russian invaders' army."
