Right Sector attacks the UOC shrine in Ternopol at night

On 3 January, nearly 3 a.m., activists of the “Right Sector” showed off at the background of the only canonical Cathedral in the city and banners calling to “drive away Moscow priests”. The pictures were posted by radicals on their page in Facebook. According to the UOJ source, this is the first night picket of nationalists.

Radicals might have been scared away by the church guard who had come outside, according to the UOJ source in Ternopol eparchy. One of the posters was left by the “Right Sector” on the iron gates at the entrance to the churchyard, the other – on the tree.

Before the night occurrence nationalists placed themselves not far from the Cathedral and distributed leaflets, urging to “drive off Moscow priests”. In such cases the police squad secured public order.

According to the law enforcers, radicals registered their leaflet actions at the city administration.
