Metropolitan Longin of Bancheni has filed a police report against Bukovyna resources “Bukinfo” and “Chas” for inciting religious hatred.
"The Moscow priests in Ukraine will not calm down. They oppose the state, they point racist missiles at Ukrainian cities that kill Ukrainian people, and children, consecrate weapons and Russian fascists, they themselves take up arms and fight against Ukraine. And there is such a priest Zhar in the Chernivtsi region who opposes Ukraine,” the Chas Telegram channel writes.
According to the journalists, "to deflect suspicion", the metropolitan filed a statement against the publication "asking to initiate a criminal case and put the editorial board under Article 161 Part 1 to five years of restriction of freedom and three years of non-occupation of certain positions".
As earlier reported, hundreds of UOC believers came to the police to support Metropolitan Longin.
