This was reported by the Union of Orthodox Journalists of Ukraine.

"The highest point of Orthodoxy is Mount Athos. Glory to Ukraine!" Igor Lysov, head of the parish council of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Kyiv, commented on a video he posted on Facebook .

Let us remember that Metropolitan Alexander is a rather scandalous figure in the UOC, a defendant in a high-profile criminal case about the kidnapping of nuns, and the secretary of the late Primate of the UOC, Metropolitan Vladimir. In the media and church circles he is considered the informal leader of the autocephalist group in the Church, sympathized with the Maidan and enjoys the patronage of the current government.
