The frontman of the Odessa rock band “Hatespeech” called for physical violence against the clergy of the UOC (VIDEO 18+)

On July 21, 2024, during the Atlas Weekend music festival in Kyiv, the frontman of the Odesa-based band Hatespeech, Dmitry Odnorozhenko, called for physical violence against the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in an obscene manner. Odnorozhenko said that the only way to resolve the issue with the UOC is to “take things into our own hands.” The musician’s statement was published by Apostrophe.

“F##k the UOC-MP, f##k the red-haired priests. These fat FSB cunts are worth a shitload, believe me. They are not returning the Azovs, they are not returning our elite, our stormtroopers, our marines. Even if they are not an exchange fund, these pests will sit in basements, not in their churches, and surrender their positions to the military,” — Odnorozhenko said.

Earlier, the controversial Crimean Tatar blogger and LGBT rights activist Ayder Muzhdabaev called for the exchange of the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as prisoners of war to continue. Muzhdabaev believes that the UOC priests are “the best exchange fund”.
