Many users on social media took to several comment sections featuring videos of the incident in question. Here's what some had to say with some linking the individuals to Zelnskey while others claimed they were agents of Russia:
"A big mistake if not arresting all of them, digging out EVERY wartime law violation applicable, and giving them long sentences. Make no mistake - these people operate on behalf of Putin's Russia!"
"Members of the UOC-Moscow Patriarchate" You mean agents and informers?" In reply to the post by NEXTA.
"They want to kill God! Look at what is happening in Ukraine! Zelensky's commissars are seizing the Ukrainian Orthodox Church! Priests and people are being beaten up!"
