Odessa "Svoboda" member calls Ukrainians "grovellers" and blames Church for war

The head of the Odessa city organization of the "Svoboda" party Sergei Soltasiuk said that the war will last as long as the country has the Russian language and the "Moscow church". He posted this on his Facebook page.

"Millions of Ukrainian citizens are indignant every day with the criminal actions of the aggressor-state, in words they seem to mourn the dead and mutilated Ukrainian soldiers. But in fact, they preserve the conditions for further maintaining this hybrid war – first of all, the Russian language and the Moscow church," writes Soltasiuk.

"In a word, blasphemy and grovelling," he concluded.
