Expert of the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience (DESS) Yuriy Chornomorets, a lobbyist of the OCU and a member of the "Sophia Brotherhood", in a social media discussion with the head of the UOC Synodal Department "Church and Culture" Abbess Serafima (Shevchik), resorted to using obscene language.

This correspondence was highlighted by publicist and deacon of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Andriy Hlushchenko, who published screenshots on his Facebook page. 

Chernomorets, addressing Abbess Serafima, called the clergy and believers of the UOC a "gang," "b*tches," and "wh*res".

"Psych ward patients and members of a totalitarian sect – that’s one. Whores and traitors who sold out to the orcs – that’s two. I’m not the state. I wouldn’t bother with you, b*tches," Chornomorets wrote among other insults in response to Abbess Serafima's (Shevchyk) comment that the UOC is steadfast during the authorities' persecution of the Church.

As the UOJ wrote, earlier, the OCU stated that Ukrainians are "forced to cut UOC priests".
