Unknown persons, dressed in camouflage uniforms and carrying baseball bats, led by city council deputies, cut the locks on the church doors, the website of the Boryspil diocese reports.
According to eyewitnesses, the attackers behaved aggressively, made threats, pushed the believers away from the temple, and tore the skufia from the head of the rector of the temple, Archpriest. Anatoly Mikhnevich. The abbot reported the incident to the police, who posted guards at the doors of the temple. The parishioners also set up a vigil.
“The demands of the protesters, which have nothing to do with the life of the religious community at all, were the removal of the rector of the temple and the transfer of society and the temple to the Kyiv Patriarchate. The actions took place in silent contemplation of the representatives of the clergy of the UOC-KP,” the Boryspil diocese emphasized.
The mayor of Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky, Taras Kostin, said that on October 11 a meeting of residents of the Borisovka microdistrict will be held to vote on the transition to the UOC-KP.
As PolitNavigator reported, Bishop of Lviv and Galicia Filaret criticized the police and authorities in connection with the seizure of the Holy Protection Church of the UOC-MP in the city of Turka, Lviv region of Ukraine.
