More and more pages are appearing on social networks that try to communicate on behalf of the UOC and His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry. However, they are all fake, reports the UOC Information and Education Department.

According to the synodal department, the name of our Primate is especially impudently used by unknown persons on Instagram.

“The admins of the Mytropolyt Onyfriy public https://instagram.com/mytropolyt_onyfriy pretend to be the Primate of the Church, write news on his behalf, like “I have done” or “I have visited”, “I was conсelebrated”, communicate on his behalf, comments with a blessing, etc.," reports the department of the UOC.

The synodal department emphasizes that "His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry does not personally maintain a single page on social networks and did not transfer such a right to anyone."

To stop the spread of fakes, please go to this page https://instagram.com/mytropolyt_onyfriy, click “Complain” and answer Instagram questions.

Only the UOC Information and Educational Department has a blessing of the Primate to cover His position on social networks.

Therefore, a list of official channels is provided for the clergy and believers. The rest of the channels, groups and pages have no relationship to the official website and the Primate of the UOC and operate on their own initiative.

As reported earlier, on May 29, 2020, Archpriest Alexander Klimenko, a clergyman of the Boryspil Eparchy of the UOC, published on his Facebook page a commentary on another slander of Channel 5 against the clergyman and the entire Church. Archpriest Alexander drew the public's attention to the fact that the slander of the biased media regularly goes unpunished.
