In Uzhgorod, the Greek Catholic priest urged to pray for reconciliation of Ukrainians with the Russians. The relevant post and video was posted on her Facebook page by journalist Daria Sipigin. The journalist said that she learned about the situation with the priest by accident. She passed by Uzhgorod Cathedral.

There, the loudspeaker broadcast the sermon of a local priest Roman Kurakh. It had the following words: "We are very asking for the Lord to do it, it is a miracle: these two great peoples have reconciled it - Ukraine and Russia. That these two peoples did not pushed, not tortured, not destroyed, not killed each other.

But that these The two beautiful peoples built the Kingdom of Heaven already here on the earth, and once together entered the sky, hugged and glorified the Lord, " - said during the worship of the chickens. Sipigina writes that she came in a shock from such words of the clergyman. "We trembled from shock. No one blinked at these words. Dozens of people listened silently and went away. How is it possible a year and a half after a full -scale invasion?" Said Sipigin's questions.

The journalist said that she dared to go to the cathedral and ask the priest about how he could say such ambiguous words, given that the war with Russia was ongoing in Ukraine for the second year. The novel Kurakh responded to the woman in high tones and without permission switched to "you". The clergyman stated that he could speak to his parishioners everything he wants. In addition, he confirmed that he blesses the Russians.

When asked by Sipigina about whether he will continue to talk about the Russians, if his brother, who is now serving in the Armed Forces, was also killed in the war. We will remind, at the end of June 2023 near Kiev caught the priest of the UOC -MP, who advocated the establishment of "Russian world" in Ukraine. According to border guards, the detained clergyman opposed the creation of an independent local church in Ukraine.
