A soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine turned to the opponents of the UOC during the evacuation of a wounded soldier from the front line. In his message, he called on all the activists who are jumping near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra to come to the front and show their "patriotism" on the battlefield. The appeal of the Ukrainian serviceman was published in the Miryany Telegram channel.

According to him, there will be no peace in Ukraine until the Ukrainians start praying, and the demons stop jumping near the shrines.

“This is the price of our freedom. The price of freedom, drinking, partying, etc., while we are getting smaller and smaller. But on top of that, you are taking away the UOC, taking away the last thing we have. Taking away our common faith, mine. And you want peace? You will have no peace <…> Stop jumping near the Lavra. Come here and jump here. Our ranks are thinning, but the demons are still jumping. Everyone is already tired of it,” he said.

As reported by the UOJ, a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that patriots should not seize churches but go to the front.
