UBO: The statement attributed to former President Leonid Kravchuk begs many questions on Yanukovych’s true allegiance to his responsibilities as President of Ukraine, and what the Russian Patriarch may have said to Yanukovych about his well-known corrupt practices and his apparent agreement to wholesale killings in Maidan.

 


From RISU:

 

Viktor Yanukovych supported the Moscow Patriarchate because his confessor was Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, former President Leonid Kravchuk has been reported as saying in an interview on 112 TV-channel.

 

“Yanukovych said that his confessor is Patriarch Kirill. He said it officially,” stressed the first President of Ukraine.

 

Kravchuk said that he had talked with Yanukovych on this issue and the latter had personally told him about the spiritual guidance of the Primate of the Russian Church.

 

“And what does the father confessor mean? It is clear what it is. Therefore, he acted adequately. He acted as his reason urged him to,” Kravchuk noted.
