OCU cleric Roman Hryshchuk, known for organizing numerous fake meetings for transitions and seizures of UOC churches, has launched a campaign against businessman Andriy Biba after reports that he financed the construction of a Ukrainian Orthodox Church temple in the Rivne region.
Hryshchuk on his Facebook page called on "patriots" not to refuel at "BRSM-Nafta" gas station network.
The reason was a message from the press service of the Rivne Eparchy of the UOC about the consecration on February 15, 2026, of a temple in the village of Pochapky and gratitude for assistance in construction to the businessman.
The OCU cleric lamented that this is not the first UOC temple built with financial support from Andrey Biba.
In connection with this, Hryshchuk burst into traditional insults against the entrepreneur about supporting "Russian world" and so on. He stated that it was precisely for helping the UOC that Biba was placed on the "Peacemaker" website, and called for a boycott of his business.
As the UOJ wrote, earlier Roman Hryshchuk threatened a UOC church “transfer” in Komariv after a funeral scandal.
