Ukrainian singer Kateryna Kondratenko, known by her stage name Katia Chilly, called for active measures against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). In her Facebook post, she referred to UOC clergy and believers as "parasites" and "worms", emphasizing that tolerance toward the Church only exacerbates the issue.

"We cannot underestimate the power of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine. It is immense, and soon it will start to rear its head. I’m just curious why they still exist as an institution here – with such large land holdings and so many minds under their control. The issue of the Lavra remains unresolved," the singer wrote, adding that in her opinion, tolerance toward the UOC is "a mistake".

Katia Chilly also claimed that the Church controls sacred sites in Ukraine, which, according to her, are being acquired for resource exploitation.

In the comments on her post, the singer elaborated on her analogy, comparing the UOC to "worms": "Worms consume the dead, which believe they are alive until they become dead. We need to boost immunity and create an alkaline environment – if we choose life."

As the UOJ previously reported, the producer of the culinary program at the Lavra accused the UOC of orchestrating the scandal surrounding the show.
