A member of Zelensky’s team: Tomos is good
Sviatoslav Yurash was the founder of the international press center of Euromaidan
There have appeared the first statements of the representatives of the new President’s team on religious issues. Sviatoslav Yurash, the son of Andrei Yurash, the director of the Department of the Ministry of Culture for Religious Affairs, who is known for his hostility towards the UOC, said that "The Tomos is good" in the programme “HARD with Vlaschenko” on the ZIK channel.
“I believe that the Tomos is a process that began with the Ukrainian revolution of 1917 and has gone to its result,” said young Yurash. “But in this regard, you should interview my father, who has actually got this Tomos.”
Also, a member of the new President’s team stated that “the Tomos is the result that has been sought for a century and finally occurred.” And therefore, according to Yurash, “the Tomos is good”.
