On March 12, 2023, supporters of the OCU attacked the Church of Archangel Michael in Zadubrivka, Chernivtsi region, and subpoenas were served to the defenders, as reported on the Facebook page of the church in Zadubrivka.
"Supporters of the OCU do not stop trying to enter the territory of the temple. The police are separating the two communities. But police officers are led by Sviatoslav Kishlar, who led the seizure of the Holy Dormition Church of the UOC in the village of Mykhalcha in 2022, and then personally physically abused the parishioners of the UOC church," the report noted.
According to eyewitnesses, police with the military enlistment office handed out summonses to the defenders of the temple, UOC Christians.
"So that there is not a single man left in Zadubrivka who could interfere with the misdeeds of the supporters of the OCU," added the parishioners of the temple.
The parishioners recalled that the body of the soldier Viktor Buriakovsky, who was killed near Bakhmut (a parishioner of the church in the village of Zadubrivka) was refused to be brought to his parents by the military enlistment office.
"A summons from the military enlistment office is a one-way ticket for Christians...," the report added.
As reported, OCU raiders are going to seize the UOC church in Zadubrivka.
