Metropolitan Epifaniy has appealed to the Belarusian people not to side with the criminal aggression of the Russian Federation, so that Belarus would not be involved in the war against Ukraine.
“I appeal to the Belarusians, our neighbors – you know what it’s like to live under a dictatorship, you protested against it. They want to bring the same, even worse, dictatorship to us in Ukraine. Fight with all your might against your government being permanently involved in vile and criminal Russian aggression and your soldiers being thrown to find death for the sake of Putin’s imperial fantasies,” said Metropolitan Epiphanius.
The head of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Metropolitan Epifaniy, also warned every Ukrainian citizen who hopes to gain power and positions in occupied Ukraine from bloody Russian hands: “Hell will be prepared for you together with Judas.”
