Divide and rule, - the speaker of the UOC on the statement of the ex-Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States on the OCU

Archpriest Nikolai Danilevich, speaker of the UOC, deputy head of the Department for External Church Relations, commented on the statements of the former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United States Valery Chaly about how “the United States helped and supported the autocephaly of the OCU.”

“It was clear from the very beginning. More and more is being revealed now. Geopolitics. USA. And they brought only harm to the church environment of Ukraine: aggression, seizure of churches, conflicts. Divide, preserve division, and rule,” wrote Father Nikolai.

As RISU reported, Chaly noted: “By the way, this may not be known in the Office of the President. In the past, the key foreign policy topic was freedom of religion. And the issue of the autonomous Church was promoted by Ukraine with the support of our partners. The United States has done – I can say this now – a lot to make this issue a reality for Ukraine. This is a huge achievement, which they consider to be theirs too. Maybe this is exaggerated, but there are such sentiments.”
