"Metropolitan" Mikhail Zinkevych of the OCU said in an interview with "Channel 12" that in the current situation, everyone should go to the front.

He stressed that the heirs to the throne of England necessarily pass hardening in the active army. The same, in his opinion, should be done in Ukraine.

"All, without exception, should join the army,” said the "hierarch". “And already there to do something by one’s state of health, marital status, etc. But everyone should be a soldier. The war will not end.”

Especially, in his opinion, it is necessary to mobilise those who are engaged in embezzlement.

"Fingers should be cut off. What kind of egg at 17 kopecks? All of them should be recruited. Well, what jackets, what eggs? Don't shoot him. To the front line for three months, into a trench, at zero," Zinkevych advises.

The same way, as he believes, should be done to unscrupulous doctors in military enlistment offices.

"Him, his sons, children – to zero at once. They have wiped out villages, there are no people, there is nothing," said the "hierarch".

As earlier reported, according to Zinkevych, because of the temples on the border with Belarus, a threat looms over Ukraine, and therefore the authorities should ban the UOC.
