On November 29, 2022, in Ivano-Frankivsk, near the Nativity Church of the UOC, where the SBU recently conducted a search, a group of people with posters demanded to ban the UOC, reports kurs.if.ua.
The deputy of the regional council of Ivano-Frankivsk, Natalia Pertsovych, accused the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of working against Ukraine.
“We know that after the searches there is evidence that this church worked against Ukraine. They were not only engaged in propaganda activities, they worked as scouts at the front lines, turned in our soldiers, their positions,” Pertsovych said.
Also, the deputy from the "ES" said that the UOC "reports directly to Putin."
“A lot of evidence was found here that this church is collaborating with Moscow, our enemy. They have a lot of propaganda literature, through which they recruited the local population,” said the EU representative.
As the UOJ wrote, the “parishioner” of the OCU turned out to be a Uniate from the mayor’s team in Ivano-Frankivsk.
