The OCU clerics of expressed concern that foreign and enemy media would attribute participation in this parade to OCU members.
They assured that the LGBT event in Kyiv would benefit the RF because "these images from Kyiv are shown in the Senate and Congress of the USA, where the majority are Republicans, and they say, 'Here is Russia with traditional values, and here is Ukraine with gay parades, whom do you want to help?'"
"And, of course, in the eyes of the Republican Party, Russians look better, and we lose support. Because of such actions in our rear, we lose the main support - God's, because we silently allow this to happen," wrote the OCU clerics.
