Ukrainian actor and Honored Artist of Ukraine, Dmytro Lalenkov, criticized the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC), Andriy Kovalenko, for his statement about the possible financing of terrorist attacks at military enlistment offices through the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).

On Facebook, Lalenkov expressed doubt about Kovalenko’s mental health, noting that he accuses the UOC of involvement in the bombings without any evidence. The actor also accused the authorities of losing their conscience and common sense.

“This is a citizen of Ukraine, Andriy Kovalenko (obviously an unhealthy person who is proud of it). He is completely baselessly screeching (on behalf of the NSDC) to the whole world that the explosions at military enlistment offices are the work of the UOC and its ‘agents,’” Lalenkov stated.

“Ze-eyed guys (and just Ze-bots), have you completely sold off your brains, or invested them in the assets of your fellow Porokhobots? You shouldn’t have, it had no intellectual value initially, and now (and for quite some time already) it has simply hit zero,” Lalenkov wrote.

“Lord, protect us from the rule of the wicked!” concluded the Honored Artist of Ukraine.

Earlier, UOJ reported that the NSDC structure assured that the UOC was involved in the bombings of military enlistment offices.
