One of the "Svoboda" leaders, Iryna Farion, stated on her Facebook that Ukraine needs its own patriarchate, which is why she belongs to the UGCC, as reported by Ukrainian News.

This was her comment on the announcement of the conference "Orthodox Christianity and Identity Politics", which will be held in Germany and aims to explore changes in Orthodox Christianity.

"An extremely threatening trend, which has always originated from the very concept of the 'Greek', or 'Universal' Church, as well as the Roman one. We need our own patriarchate, independent of any centers. Foreign centers are an occupation of souls. And people's souls are weak. The church should build its foundations exclusively on an ethnonational basis. Otherwise, it is a very dangerous tool for the destruction of ethno-nations," wrote Farion.

As the UOJ reported earlier, Iryna Farion had emotionally criticized the head of the UGCC, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, for signing a document with Polish Catholics regarding the Volyn tragedy.
