Mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk said that
Mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk Ruslan Martsinkiv on his Facebook page called the Ukrainian Orthodox Church "the church of the occupant", while stating that he does not care about the opinion on this issue of the Commissioner for Human Rights.

Martsinkiv cites scans from the brochure of the UOC, where the position of the canonical Church regarding military operations in the east of Ukraine is explained.

"This is distributed to the believers of the UOC-MP!" Martsinkiv was outraged. "In a country where a constant war with Moscow is going on! The war is not going on in the East, the war is going on inside! And let the Commissioner for Human Rights accuse me, but I believe that this is the church of the occupant! If there were "Svoboda" in the Verkhovna Rada, this church would be banned."

At the same time, the mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk does not care that the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the Pope take a similar position on the conflict in the east of Ukraine.
