On Maidan, radicals demand to exchange captives for "priests – FSB agents"
Protesters brought posters with the words "Down with Moscow priests"
The few nationalists who took part in the event called “Veche” put up posters on Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) and then went to the Presidential Administration, reports a Censor.NET correspondent.
Protesters brought posters with the words "Down with Moscow priests" and "MP = FSB = Cheka descendants of the perpetrators of the Holodomor in Ukraine".
After a short rally at the Presidential Administration, the protesters dispersed.
Up to 100 people took part in the event.
As the UOJ reported, earlier the trade union organization of the KP "Odessa Heat Supply" and Odessa nationalists called on the hierarchs of the UOC to reconsider their decisions taken at the recent Bishops' Council.
