Filaret and the "Right Sector" discussed issues of mutual interest

At the meeting that took place on March 19, Filaret and members of the "Right Sector" discussed a number of issues of "mutual interest", reports the website of the Kiev Patriarchate.

Also, as reported, the meeting participants discussed the "moral challenges" facing the Ukrainian society.

Filaret wished the nationalists God's help and blessed them.

From the "Right Sector", the meeting was attended by the commander of the volunteer corps Andrei Stempitsky, the chairman of the central headquarters Vasily Labaychuk and the head of the Kiev city organization of the "Right Sector" Vladimir Zagazey.

Earlier, the Kyiv Patriarchate and the "Right Sector" signed an agreement on cooperation, which provides for the creation of the Single Local Church and "information-methodical and information-reference support" of radicals by the UOC KP, "and in the absence of a direct superior" – the right to give "expedient" orders to subordinate militants.
