On August 18, 2023, employees of the Territorial Recruiting Centre showed up at the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral of the UOC in Kamyanets-Podilsky and the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in the village of Dovzhok (from where the religious procession to Pochaiv traditionally departs). They began distributing summonses to believers who had come to the city for the cross procession to Pochaiv. This is reported by the UOJ correspondent.
According to him, several men have received a summons.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that in Kamyanets-Podilsky, the police cordoned off the cathedral and forced all the people who had come to the city for the religious procession to the Pochaiv Lavra to leave the territory.
