Metropolitan Luke of Zaporizhzhia and Melitopol announced that by court decision, he has to cease publications on his Telegram channel "Lekar.zp".

"To all those interested in my thoughts on the life of the Church in this world mired in evil, and on how to distinguish sinful from righteous, for the salvation of the invaluable and immortal soul, I invite you to subscribe to the channel 'Lekar.zp-m.Luke' (invitation link: https://t.me/lekarzpmluka), as well as to obtain information from the official website of the Zaporizhzhia Eparchy of the UOC – 'HRAMZP.UA'," wrote the hierarch of the UOC.

Metropolitan Luke warned that this is the last post on the Telegram channel "Lekar.zp" and asked to take into account that provocations against him are possible.

"I officially declare that any information that appears on the channel after this publication until the final court decision will have no relation to me!" he warned.

As reported, a judge of the Solomiansky District Court imposed a measure of restraint on Metropolitan Luke in the form of two months of nighttime house arrest and wearing an electronic monitoring device.
