On March 18, 2023, raiders of the OCU seized the Church of Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki in the Chernivtsi region, beating to blood UOC believers, reports lawyer Viktoria Kokhanovska on her Facebook page.
"Settling (the matter) with the OCU for the seized UOC church right in front of the entrance, where you can still hear the sawing with an angle grinder. That is the whole faith, that is the whole patriotism of impunity and sale of souls to unclean people. You can guess what will happen to them because they will have drunk their 30 pieces of silver by the evening," - commented Viktoria Kokhanovska on the seizure of the UOC church.
On March 18, 2023, OCU raiders stormed the Church of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki in the Chernivtsi region and beat believers of the UOC to blood.
