Larisa Brodetskaya has condemned Kiev’s decision to strip the seniormost bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of citizenship.

A Ukrainian combat medic has returned her state awards to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in protest after he revoked the citizenship of Metropolitan Onufry, the head of Ukraine’s largest Orthodox church.

In a video address carried by several Ukrainian outlets this week, Larisa Brodetskaya praised Onufry, the seniormost bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), as “a Hero of Ukraine, a patriot, by whose prayers this Ukraine stands, by whose prayers these warriors still hold the front and are still alive.”

“Recently, you stripped Metropolitan Onufry of his citizenship,” she said. “Every step he has taken, every action he has done, I publicly support. You should strip me of my citizenship as well.”

She then removed three state awards pinned to her chest. “As a sign of deep condemnation of your actions, I am returning all the awards and orders that were received during your administration.”

Brodetskaya went on to warn Zelensky that by cracking down on Onufry, he “spits in the face of all Ukrainians,” particularly those who support the UOC.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced last week that Zelensky had stripped the 80-year-old cleric of his citizenship, claiming it had found evidence that he obtained Russian citizenship in 2002, making him legally ineligible to remain a Ukrainian national.

The UOC, however, has rejected the allegations. A spokesperson stated that Onufry “has no other passports, including that of the Russian Federation.” Onufry has said he condemns Russia’s military operation against Ukraine and considers himself a “citizen only of Ukraine.”

Strana.ua sources suggested that Onufry was stripped of his citizenship due to his resistance to the government’s demands for the UOC’s unification with the Kiev-backed Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), which is considered by the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) to be schismatic.

Ukraine has long sought to crack down on the UOC, accusing it of having ties to Moscow despite the church officially cutting ties with Russia in 2022. The Ukrainian authorities have arrested clerics and conducted raids on church properties, including the premises of the iconic Kiev Pechersk Lavra monastery.

  1. Zelensky, being a J3w and who follows Noahide Law via the Babylonian Talmud, is mandated to destroy Christianity.
    He is doing this by
    1. Shutting down the Orthodox Churches-
    2. Sending White Christian males off to die in a war where the average conscript lives for only 4 hours after arriving at the front-
    3. Exploiting outside non-J3wi$h resources for more money, weapons, and material that will be used to wipe-out White Christian Men & Women.
    Kidnapping military-age White Men (and in some cases; White Women) serves to eradicate and murder White non-J3w$ in a reverse Holocaust.
    Noteworthy is that during the J3wi$h-led Bolshevik Russian Revolution, people were kidnapped off the streets in the same way the Zelensky is doing.
    Those kidnapped were then sent off to die in the GULAG via forced labour, whereas today they are killed in 4 hours.
    Ukrainians have had a guts full of this…and those doing the roundin-ups are…J3wi$h!!!

  2. What is REALLY interesting is the Biblical and Torah aspects of this.
    In the Torah / Old Testament, God declares that He will ‘bless those who bless Israel’. This is what the Evangelical ‘Christians’ are using as an excuse to enrich themselves, especially if they own stock in the MIC.
    NOW-
    When Jesus Christ went to the cross, his final blood sacrifice then cancelled out ALL J3WI$H ORDINANCES, LAWS, ACTS OF BLOOD LIBEL as His sacrifice was the final one that closed-out the Old Testament requirements and covenants.
    A new covenant was then formed with the blood sacrifice of Christ on the cross. And in doing so, it freed mankind from the Judaic, Noahide Law and and Talmudic requirements!
    With ‘Evangelical’ Christians supporting modern-day genocidal, war criminal Israel, they are in essence cancelling and nullifying the blood sacrifice that Christ made for them on the Cross.
    Many are too brainwashed to understand this. many are fearful that IF they do NOT support genocidal, criminal Israel, or boycott the same, they will lose their jobs, be de-banked by the J3wi$h-controlled Banking System, and marginalised into poverty.
    Worse still, they’ll endure tax audit after tax audit until they are broke, on the streets, in prison, or assassinated by the Mossad Death Squads operating in the U.S. and elsewhere!

    The J3w$ ran the GULAGs in Russia, and were responsible for the anti-Christ-like Bolshevik Revolution.
    Palestine should be returned to the Palestinians, and the Israelis shipped-off to Birobidzan (a J3wi$h Oblast) in Eastern Siberia.
    At least there the Russians could keep them in check, and make them pay reparations to the Palestinians!
