Referring to His Beatitude, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that "there is no place for all these persons in Ukraine, and there never will be."

Volodymyr Zelensky commented on his decision to revoke the Ukrainian citizenship of Metropolitan Onuphry in his evening address. Without naming the Primate of the UOC, Zelensky actually accused him of working "against spiritual independence".

"We continue our entirely justified work concerning various individuals who have aligned themselves with Russia. Figures with political influence and Russian passports, those working against Ukrainian independence in all its dimensions, including its spiritual independence, everyone who supports or justifies the aggression: there is no place in Ukraine for any of these persons, and there never will be," said the President.

According to him, "new Ukrainian sanctions" are also being prepared and "there will be decisions by the NSDC".

As reported by the UOJ, Zelensky issued a decree revoking the citizenship of Metropolitan Onuphry. Security forces claimed that in 2002, the Primate of the UOC allegedly obtained Russian citizenship and did not inform the Ukrainian authorities about it. The UOC denied the SBU's statement that Metropolitan Onuphry has Russian citizenship.
