Arrived at the temple by helicopter and sang in the choir: what they say about Metropolitan Onufriy in his native village.

In the village of Korytne in Bukovina, where the metropolitan of the UOC-MP Onufriy was born, a heated debate has erupted due to his deprivation of Ukrainian citizenship. Local residents have divided into two camps - some consider this decision unjust, while others deem it justified. There are two temples in the village: one belongs to the UOC-MP, the other to the PCU.

This is wrong. He is a good, humble, decent person. He tried to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And how could he live in Ukraine and have Russian citizenship? I think something is wrong here

If a person does not have a pro-Ukrainian position and does not support Ukraine, then this decision is correct. The metropolitan does not belong here if he does not like Ukraine

In the house where the metropolitan was born, his relatives now live, avoiding communication with journalists. Previously, Onufriy often visited the temple in the neighboring village of Berezhonka, where his father served and was buried. After his death, believers of the PCU now pray in this temple.

The Security Service reported the deprivation of Onufriy’s Ukrainian citizenship by the decision of President Zelensky. The metropolitan himself claims that he did not apply to other countries for citizenship but holds an official Russian passport. Several local residents of Korytne expressed different opinions regarding this situation.
