Serhiy Sternenko, advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, published on Facebook an image of a blasphemous "icon" of the Mother of God, inscribed with the words "God, bless the sacred Russian-cutter."
In the "icon," the Mother of God cradles rockets and bombs in her arms instead of the Christ Child.
"Dear believers, parishioners of the Church of the Sacred Russian-Cutter, tell me, have you prayed today? Have you made your donations?" Sternenko asked mockingly. He did not indicate who the author of the "icon" was.
Previously, the UOJ reported that the OCU "dressed" Christ in an embroidered shirt.
