The UOC-MP is scaring the Ukrainian authorities with the "end of their political career" if they support the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
In particular, bishop Viktor (Kotsaba) of the UOC-MP said in an interview that the support of the OCU for the authorities will end badly. In his opinion, to fight with the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine is a war against God and the Church, according to the Spiritual Front of Ukraine.
"This is not only a struggle with God and a challenge to one's own salvation but also the end of a political career and a stable life. It is not for nothing that the Holy Scriptures say to give what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God," Bishop Viktor (Kotsaba) of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine said.
Recall that Viktor (Kotsaba) is listed in the Myrotvorets (Peacemaker) database as an agent of influence of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in Ukraine. Viktor (Kotsaba) is charged with spreading Kremlin propaganda in the form of so-called propaganda. "Russian World" on behalf of the UOC-MP. The Myrotvorets noted that "using his position, he is involved in spreading false, manipulative information abroad about events in Ukraine, inciting interethnic and interfaith hatred with the help of controlled information resources "Union of Orthodox Journalists", "First Cossack's", "Raskolam.net". He was also called an opponent of the independence of Ukrainian Orthodoxy from the Russian Orthodox Church controlled by Russia (the aggressor country).
