Former world champion in three divisions Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) posted on his Instagram a photo of the Metropolitan of Zaporozhye and Melitopol UOC-MP Luka.

“We should not pay attention to who gives us the task, we should know that any business here on earth, in the universe is a matter from the Lord, and we have to do it wholeheartedly, without a trace,” the boxer signed the photo.

Recall that on December 11, by decree of the President of Ukraine on the decision of the National Security and Defense Council, sanctions were imposed against a number of hierarchs of the UOC-MP, among which was the Metropolitan of Zaporozhye and Melitopol UOC-MP Luka (Andriy Kovalenko).

By this decision, Luka was forbidden to use assets, withdraw capital abroad, and Kovalenko was also deprived of all state awards..

It should be noted that this is not the first time Lomachenko has posted posts related to the UOC-MP.
