" The General Staff is currently not accepting our priests as chaplains, preferring Greek Catholics or representatives of other dioceses. The religious issue is being used as a political bargaining chip, especially by radical forces. They're dividing up patriarchates, confiscating churches. And this is being done by people who don't even know the Lord's Prayer... People calling themselves the 'Right Sector' are arriving, driving out believers, closing churches, and sealing them. There are up to 30 such cases across Ukraine."
