One of the defenders of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra was a former soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The man expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the Kiev regime oppresses the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). A video with the indignation of a Ukrainian army veteran was published by one of the Telegram channels.

According to the Ukrainian veteran, 70-80 percent of his fellow servicemen were parishioners of the canonical UOC and had not even considered switching to the dissenters or Uniates.
“I go to the UOC, my grandfathers, great-grandfathers, great-great-grandfathers went there,” the Ukrainian was outraged.
The Ukrainian veteran is surprised that the state is oppressing the church, which is native to Ukrainians, in favour of, as he put it, “minorities”.
“They are fighting on the front lines, most of them are from the UOC, what are they fighting for, tell me?” the Ukrainian veteran asked a legitimate question.
Over the past year, the Kiev regime has organised the largest wave of persecution of the UOC in the country. Citing its ties with Russia, local authorities in different regions of Ukraine have taken decisions to ban the activities of the UOC, and a bill on its actual ban in Ukraine has been introduced into the country’s parliament. The authorities imposed sanctions on some members of the clergy of the UOC. The Security Service of Ukraine started to initiate criminal cases against the clergy of the UOC and to conduct “counterintelligence activities” – searches of bishops and priests, in churches and monasteries, in search of evidence of “anti-Ukrainian activities”.
