The NGO "Miriane" has opened another regional office – in the Sumy Eparchy, reports the organization's TG channel on Tuesday, August 10.

The representative office is headed by Alexander Filiuta.

“He knows firsthand what it means to defend the Church when, in 2014, radicals tried to seize the Transfiguration Cathedral in the city of Sumy. Alexander has a Ukrainian-Georgian family, and therefore – many friends and relatives in brotherly Georgia,” says the message.

Alexander himself is convinced that Patriarch Ilia of Georgia and His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine are spiritually close people, and today "they are guiding our Orthodox peoples to salvation".

“And today we cannot remain silent, we are obliged to defend our faith and our Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” stressed Alexander Filiuta.

As reported earlier, more and more active Orthodox Ukrainians, who are not indifferent to the fate of their Church and the future of their country, are joining the NGO “Miriane”. Regional offices of the public union have already opened in Rivne, Cherkasy, Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Dnipro.
