The Center for Combating Disinformation reacted to the odious appeal of the rector of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and his “brethren”. The video opus was addressed to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Pavel complained about being expelled from the Lavra – his pro-Putin “brethren” had to leave the territory of the shrine by March 29, 2023. The video was picked up by Russian propaganda media.

Now pro-Kremlin propagandists are presenting “news” under the guise of persecuting the canonical Orthodox Church. The Center for Counteracting Disinformation emphasized that propaganda is presented in such a way that the audience should, it seems, independently understand “holy war is inevitable.”

The Center for Counteracting Disinformation recalled that the previously scandalous preacher had already launched a fake. We are talking about the crosses on the Refectory Church of the Lavra, which allegedly darkened “because of the divine services of unfortunate Ukrainians.”

The Kremlin is skillfully manipulating the theme of the church, presenting its subordinates as victims. And he also uses this topic to escalate the situation and increase the audience of fans who will go to “save” Orthodox Ukrainians.

Notice! In an odious video, Metropolitan Pavel said that back in 2019 he prayed to God to tell him who would lead the state. Then the Lord himself allegedly told Pavel: Vladimir Zelensky would become president.
