On 20 August 2023, among the invaders of the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in vlg. Dovzhok, a suburb of Kamyanets-Podilskyi, there was a man with satanic symbols on his clothes.

Our correspondent reports that one of the young men, who took the most active part in the attempted raiding of the temple in Dovzhok, was wearing a T-shirt with the image of inverted crosses on the chest and a goat's head on the back.

It should be noted that from the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Dovzhok, a cross procession from Kamyanets-Podilskyi to Pochaiv starts annually.

As reported, supporters of the OCU were trying to seize the UOC church in the suburbs of Kamyanets-Podilskyi.
