Russia's strike on Sumy. The Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church gave an example to Onufriy on how to react.

The Metropolitan of Sumy and Okhtyrka of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Yevlohiy, condemned the strike of the occupiers on Sumy. As a result of the enemy shelling, more than 30 people died, and over 100 were injured.

«Today, my dear brothers and sisters, we have once again witnessed the terrible lawlessness against our temples, our city, and our Ukraine. Our worship today took place amidst explosions. Russian rockets flew into the center of the city, which not only destroyed buildings but also killed people,» noted the Metropolitan of Sumy and Okhtyrka of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

At the same time, priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Vasyl Maksymyshynets, published a video of the Metropolitan's speech. Yevlohiy called Russians godless people and individuals, «who have lost faith and conscience.»

«What surprises me in this Russian war against us is that the people who call themselves believers in Russia, who should have been the first to condemn this bloodshed, not only did not condemn it, but called this war sacred. What a disgrace to these archpriests and priests. We categorically condemn this latest crime of the Russian godless people, unbelieving individuals, for believers do not act this way. These are people who have lost faith, who have lost conscience,» said Yevlohiy in Russian.

At the same time, the head of the Moscow church in Ukraine, Metropolitan Onufriy, did not respond to the attack of the occupiers. As reported in the Sumy diocese, the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Lord, where Metropolitan Yevlohiy led the Liturgy, was damaged by the Russian strike. The blast wave damaged windows and shattered glass in the sanctuary. It should be noted that as a result of the rocket strike by Russia on the city of Sumy, the biological brother of the Archbishop of Tulchin and Bratslav, Serhiy, was killed.

Attack by Russian occupiers on Sumy

Yesterday, on Palm Sunday, the Russian army attacked the center of Sumy. During the worship held at the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Lord, enemy rockets led to destruction and loss of human lives. Metropolitan Yevlohiy of Sumy and Okhtyrka condemned these attacks, calling Russians godless individuals who have lost faith and conscience. The strike on the cathedral led to damaged windows and shattered glass. The special representative of the USA in Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, also expressed his condemnation of the attack by Russian occupiers, noting that this strike crosses all bounds of decency. He provided examples from his military service, understanding that such targeted strikes are wrong. Intentionally seeking to gain control of the city of Sumy, the Russian occupiers do not stop at anything. The city's residents have once again witnessed the horrifying consequences of war. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church condemned this lawlessness and expressed condolences to all those affected by the rocket bombardment.
