The Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Sergey Trofimov, who is a parishioner of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, shared his impressions of the conversation with His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine. He told about it on May 12, 2020, in an interview with Dmitry Gordon.
Trofimov said that President Vladimir Zelensky and he himself had the opportunity to communicate with His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry after the inauguration and in a number of other cases.
According to him, the Primate of the UOC “is a very interesting person and a man of great depth. He is a monk, a man who serves God. It combines such unique qualities as wisdom, firmness and, at the same time, unfailing love for everyone. These things do not always go together. He has a completely different spiritual level, in my opinion."
The deputy head of the PO noted that he is a believer and parishioner of the UOC, goes to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and considers it a world-wide shrine.
As reported by the UOJ, the First Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine said earlier that the policies of the previous government discredited millions of faithful Ukrainians.
