Bulgarian Patriarch Daniel commented on the ongoing persecution of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine, including the seizure of churches and the killing of priests, reports Eurocom Television.

He emphasized that Orthodox Christians in Ukraine are currently suffering violence at the hands of those who, in his view, are not part of the true Orthodox faith.

"Someone who claims to be Orthodox is persecuting and killing people. It is very easy for a person to determine which Orthodox Church in Ukraine is true," said the head of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. He also called for an end to the war, noting that the destruction and suffering occurring in the country must cease.

As previously reported by the UOJ, Patriarch Daniel stated that the Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church would decide on the OCU after the war ended.
