The leader of "C14" pledged in his Telegram channel to "punch in the f... face" of every MP who refuses to vote for the ban on the UOC.

"I won't be able to get to all of them, of course. But I'll set an example. The country will support further," Karas believes.

In his characteristic style, Karas commented on the words of the Speaker of the Parliament, who stated that the bill to ban the UOC is not brought to the floor due to a lack of votes: "Who the f... doesn't vote??? Give me the lists! NAMES YOU MOTH.....R F....KERS. Have you lost your f.... mind? Who the f... doesn't vote? Soldiers don't give a f... – being in jail is no worse than being in the trenches."

Yevhen Karas demanded that the names be provided to him and that his publication be spread.

Recall that in early March 2023, Karas instructed his radicals on how to provoke monks and believers of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. After that, the Lavra filed a lawsuit against Karas.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that according to Ruslan Stefanchuk, the bill against the UOC is not brought to the parliament because there are not enough votes.
