A resident of the village of Zhvanets, Kamyanets-Podilsky district, Khmelnytsky region, whose husband died at the front, told about the curses of "activists" in the address of the religious procession.

The woman is going to the Pochaiv Lavra carrying a photo of her husband and the flag of Ukraine. According to her, the flag from the Ukrainian President was handed to her by representatives of the military commission.

She also spoke about the reaction of "activists" to the procession: "While I was walking, there were many such situations, obstacles, that we could not go... There were people who shouted: to war, down with the Moscow priest, Moscals, let your children be cursed... For what? Why did my husband die? There are so many children like that (dead – Ed.)... I see mothers in black scarves, crying that their children were killed... It's just terrible".

As reported, the Ternopil Regional Council banned the procession of the UOC in the region.
