Kyiv, June 01 (Navigator, Mikhail Ryabov) – Pro-Russian actions in Donbass are financed by the “Orthodox oligarch” Viktor Nusenkis, said Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, on Public TV.
“Victor Nusenkis – this group gravitates towards the Russian choice,” he said.
At the same time, Gerashchenko emphasized that the leadership of Ukraine calls on civilians of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk to leave their cities in order to facilitate the so-called. anti-terrorist operation.
“We invite all citizens to leave there... by staying, you are putting your life in danger... Convince your neighbors who are providing assistance to terrorists, as this leads to further destabilization... We cannot ensure the functioning of the banking system, the payment of pensions and salaries,” the adviser emphasized Avakova.
Let us note that Victor Nusenkis is the founder of the Donetskstal group, one of the richest people in Ukraine and one of the main sponsors of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate

A businessman of Greek-Jewish origin is a true Orthodox Christian, the largest donor to the Church, who built the Donbass with churches. On the premises of all his enterprises there are temples or, at least, prayer rooms.
In 2011, Nusenkis became the hero of numerous publications in the media - the businessman refused to finance information projects of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate, citing the fact that the information policy of the UOC was controlled by Bishop Alexander Drabinko, considered the informal leader of the “orange wing” of the UOC.
This happened at the Council in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, where the new Charter of the UOC was adopted, which causes concern among believers, since some points of the document can be interpreted as steps aimed at moving away from the Moscow Patriarchate.
Nusenkis attended the Council as a lay delegate from the Donetsk diocese and intended to make a voluminous speech against autocephaly, but was stopped.
According to the source, after this the businessman left the Cathedral.
