The Primate of the UOC, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry said that Channel 5 does not work in the interests of the Ukrainian state, but on the contrary, is an enemy of Ukraine. He said this during an interaction with a journalist, reports a UOJ correspondent.
"I have this question for you: why are you not working for the state? You are enemies of the Ukrainian state," His Beatitude said.
