Metropolitan Luka: Biography
Metropolitan Luka (born Andrei Kovalenko – ed.) was born in Khartsyzsk, near Donetsk, in 1971. Notably, the city has been occupied since 2014.
As journalists have established, Andrei Kovalenko did not immediately become a churchman. In the early 2000s, he worked in a trauma hospital, at Donetskstal.
Educated at the Kiev Theological Seminary and the Kiev Theological Academy.
In 2010, Luke was appointed governor of the Zaporizhzhia diocese. Since 2013, he has been the head of the so-called synodal department of the UOC MP on Cossack affairs. In 2016 he was elevated to the rank of metropolitan.
It should be noted that as of 2019, Luka was registered at the address: the city of Zaporozhye, 42 Ladozhskaya Street, sq. 36. Owns a plot of land in Zaporozhye, as well as a house on Silovaya Street, 20zh. In addition, Luke owns a house in Donetsk at 87, 50th Anniversary of Soviet Ukraine Street.
Also, according to Evocation.Info, the Metropolitan owns three cars: a white Toyota Camry and two minibuses.
Metropolitan Luka: Agent Activity
On March 15, 2022, in his Telegram channel, Luca stated that the Ukrainians deserved to be bombed by Russia. He also openly condemned the granting of Tomos to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, by comparing the actions of the Ukrainian authorities with those of Hitler, Stalin and other dictators. In addition, in March 2022, during the humanitarian convoy to Mariupol, he surrendered Ukrainian journalist to the occupiers.
In January 2023, commenting on the attack on a Vinnitsa priest of the UOC MP, Luka allowed emotional remarks to politicians and journalists, stating that “God-fearers cut Christ’s throat”.
“This is a direct consequence of calls for violence and genocide against our clergy and believers by cynical clowns “95th Quarter“ and those hosts who inspire them to blasphemy and blasphemy. This is a direct consequence of media propaganda, which systematically and systematically destroys Ukraine by pitting the citizens of our country against each other“The churchman wrote.
At a time when Russian occupiers are killing Ukrainians and destroying the lives of thousands of families every day, the appropriateness of such emotionality is questionable.
Note that Luke is trying to convince us that he is independent of the ROC. But in fact he is closely connected with the Russian Orthodox Church. Journalists found out that he still enters to the Inter-Siberian Council, the highest deliberative body of the Moscow Patriarchate. He is also a member of the commissions
of the Church Education Commission and the commission of the Russian Orthodox Church on Bioethics.
The so-called synodal department of the UOC MP on Cossack affairs, which is headed by Luka, is coordinated by the Russian Orthodox Church. This department cooperates with pro-Russian Cossacks who support the occupiers.
In addition, the metropolitan is closely connected with former Berkutov man Alexander Kurnikov, who is known for his pro-Russian activities.
Metropolitan Luka’s family
As journalists learned, Luka’s brother Alexander Kovalenko, died in the second month of a full-scale invasion, defending Ukraine from the Russian occupiers. He was 56 years old. At least two of Alexander’s three sons graduated from the Donetsk Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. One of them now serves as a police officer in the Donetsk region and helps Ukrainian civilians. Alexander’s third son served in the President’s Detached Regiment.
