In Ugledar, Donetsk region, demobilized militants and local nationalists staged a rally outside the walls of the city council because of the decision of the city authorities to allocate land for the construction of a new UOC temple.

This is stated in the story of TV channel 24, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The nationalists’ arguments do not change - they are afraid that the “Russian world” will come along with the churches, so they propose to build an alley with flower beds instead of the temple.
“So that people have flower beds under their windows, there is an alley, so that children can ride roller skates and bicycles, make a fountain there so that people can relax,” says one of the initiators of the rally, Irina Prokopenko.
“I believe that this land should be given over to park areas, to build children’s sports grounds, and not to churches of the Moscow Patriarchate,” adds the former militant with the call sign “Gypsy.”
However, the mayor's office did not reverse its decision and invited the nationalists to seek their goal through the courts.
