Police clean up statistics on the number of participants in cross procession of UOC-KP

Kiev National Police have changed their estimates of the number of participants in the cross procession of the Kiev Patriarchate three times: from 2 thousand people to "thousands of believers".

According to the initially published data of the law enforcers, about 2,000 people moved in the column of the Filaret followers.

After a while, the police changed the number of representatives of the UOC-KP to just "participants" of the procession.

The final version of the law enforcers was as follows: the cross procession of the Filaret supporters – many-thousand (in the title), but there are no specific figures regarding the number of participants – the text of the article states that "thousands of believers from various regions of Ukraine" took part in the procession.
