On 11 November 2023, MP Artem Dmytruk commented on the seizure of the temple and the attack on a pregnant parishioner in the village of Luh in Transcarpathia.
According to the people’s deputy, the attack on the pregnant woman is "a complete discrediting of the Ukrainian military, military uniform, honour and dignity, and the memory of all those who died for our country!"
"Such goblins in military uniform are taking away property from Ukrainian citizens, such goblins in military uniform are beating a 7-month pregnant woman! They are beat a priest...," Dmytruk says.
He noted that during the seizure of the temple "together with the criminals from the OCU were representatives of the police", right in front of whose eyes "aggressive raiders are throwing themselves at people, and they are completely inactive".
"The police behaviour in this video also raises questions. Therefore, I am preparing an appeal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs," wrote the MP.
As reported, in the village of Luh a man in military uniform attacked a pregnant parishioner of the UOC.
