“Pereyaslav-Vyshneve Metropolitan" of the OCU Oleksandr Drabinko, on the air of Channel 24, compared the representatives of the UOC with cancer cells that had to be removed earlier.
According to him, these cancer cells can intoxicate the entire body with the “Russian world’s poison,” which Patriarch Kirill once injected into Ukraine.
It was he who became the ideologist of the "liberation war" that Vladimir Putin launched against Ukraine, he noted.
Drabinko added that the SBU officers had long needed to conduct searches in the UOC, this should become “systemic work effecting the entire body of the churches of the Moscow Patriarchate.”
“The separation of the wheat from the chaff should have happened earlier. However, we thank God and the Ukrainian services that this is happening today,” Drabinko concluded.
As previously reported by the UOJ, Drabinko said that the Assumption and Refectory churches of the Lavra should be given to the OCU.
