Two churches of the UOC burgled in Odessa diocese
The burglars broke into the church, made a mess inside and stole church plates, including the Gospel, Eucharistic and baptismal sets and so on.
The intruders also stole donations for humanitarian aid to victims of armed conflict in the Donbass.
The police, immediately called after the detection of the burglary, documented the offense.
A few days earlier, in the same town St. George’s Church had been repeatedly robbed – food supplies were stolen. The last time, half a year ago, the perpetrators took church donations.
