Near Kamyanets cathedral, TCC employees hand out summonses to pilgrims
On 19 August 2023, in Kamyanets-Podilskyi, representatives of Territorial Completion Centres started handing out summonses to pilgrims.
According to a UOJ correspondent, for some time law enforcers did not let pilgrims out of the cathedral territory, blocking the gates.
Later, people started to be allowed through the gates overlooking Lesia Ukrainka Street (this is one of the side entrances to the cathedral territory). There were also representatives of the TCC, who handed out summonses to all men of conscription age.
As earlier reported, law enforcers block pilgrims on the bridge to the Khmelnitskyi region.
