Priests of the Russian Orthodox Church arrived from Russia to the temporarily occupied Izyum, in Kharkiv region, to pray for the success of further “denazification” and “demilitarization” of Ukraine.
Andriy Pinchuk, a priest of the UOC-MP diocese in Dnipropetrovsk region, reported the news.
“Priest Mykola Stepanovych Danyliv, born on December 4, 1971, met them in the cathedral and conducted a tour for them and the Russian military. He showed the cathedral, led them to the altar. The traitor Metropolitan Yelisey (Metropolitan of the UOC MP in Izyum – ed.) could not meet the Z-priests because he is reported to have been hiding in Russia’s Kursk region,” the priest wrote.
According to Father Andriy, the occupation priests, together with a local collaborating priest, consecrated the occupation flag and blessed the Russian military for further killings of Ukrainians. The letter “Z” was seen on the chevrons sported by Russian priests.
