In Ukraine the trial of the head of the Cherkasy diocese of the UOC Metropolitan Theodosius began

Metropolitan Theodosius faces a prison term for “supporting Russia“. Now a court session is underway to choose a measure of restraint for Metropolitan Theodosius. The metropolitan is accused of “supporting Russian aggression“, so he may face a real prison term. According to the bishop himself, they want to arrest him in order to behead the Cherkasy diocese, and the parishioners are put under violent pressure. “One of our parishioners was already threatened here, several people who came to the SBU building during my previous interrogation were pressured by the security forces, we fix all this in legal terms, all this will be attached to a large extensive case, which will undoubtedly lead to criminal responsibility of those who organize it. When it will be? Probably when our country returns to the legal field and not the right of force will operate, but the right of freedom of speech, religion and action in our country ,” the Metropolitan said. The metropolitan is not afraid of justice and has an active position. Earlier, Theodosius stated that if at least one small Orthodox church in the Cherkasy region is seized during the period when he is arrested, the believers will bring this matter to the very end, to all international instances.
