Oleksandr Symchyshyn, mayor of the city of Khmelnytsky, said that at an extraordinary session of the City Council, churches and parishes of the UOC will be deprived of the right to use land plots on the territory of the community.

In his telegram channel, the mayor and representative of the Svoboda party commented on the “beating” of a military man in the Intercession Cathedral in Khmelnytsky city.

Symchyshyn wrote that "the Moscow FSB agents represented by the UOC should be banned throughout the country."

“The anti-Ukrainian sabbath that has been taking place in the capital in recent days and the beating of a military man in Khmelnytsky should become a bulletproof argument for the Verkhovna Rada to vote on a bill to ban this FSB nest once and for all,” the official wrote.

He promised that at an extraordinary session of the city council "we will ensure that the community of the UOC will no longer be able to use the land." He also assured that he would come up with a similar initiative for the regional and district councils.

In addition, the civil servant wrote that the priests of the UOC should leave the Church, since those of them who have “at least a part of Ukrainian are obliged to immediately leave the FSB structure.”

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that eyewitnesses spoke about the “beating” in the Khmelnytsky temple.
