Lawyer: OCU in Pereyaslav reaches a new level of brutality

Lawyer and head of the All-Ukrainian organization "Women's Power of Ukraine" Viktoriya Kokhanovska said on her Telegram channel that the OCU raiders in Pereyaslav have reached a new level of brutality.

"UOC parishioners are used to being in a confrontation with "the best and most sincere patriots", but this time in Pereyaslav the OCU activists have reached a new level. They are no longer just 'patriots' - they are already another, higher class: 'Aryans and pure-bred Banderas'...this 'higher race thinks they can humiliate and slaughter people for their faith and, apparently, for the fact that they exist at all," Viktoriya Kokhanovska said.

According to her, despite the OCU's intimidation, the UOC faithful are not afraid of them.

"They are very menacing, they threaten our people. But they did not and will not get any fear or, all the more so, respect from us in this way. God and the law of Ukraine are with our sisters, so they are fearless! You can see it for yourselves," she added.

The lawyer noted that such actions of the OCU supporters fall under the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

"After what they and some young men in uniform did to the rector and the matushka, the talk should be in the language of articles of the Criminal Code and sentences!" she concluded.

 

As reported, the rector in Pereyaslav detailed the attack by OCU members.
