In the seized Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos of the UOC in the village of Novosilky, a cleric of the OCU spoke before activists who backed the takeover, as reported by kozakTv1.
During his address, he calls for a fight against the "internal enemy", which he considers the believers and clergy of the UOC. The OCU representative describes them as "enemies of humanity" and criticizes the Ukrainian Orthodox Church led by Metropolitan Onuphry.
"The so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church, under the leadership of this so-called Moscow... Onuphry. They are fierce enemies of all humanity around the world," he stated.
