Parishioners of the Holy Spirit Church of the UOC in Luh of the Rakhiv district, Transcarpathia, demonstrated a surveillance video showing people in camouflage entering the temple's territory, breaking the locks on the side doors and seizing the church. The video was published on the Facebook page of the rector of the church, Archpriest Volodymyr Lehach.
The footage shows people in military uniforms approaching the doors and cutting the lock with a grinder. Then they go inside the temple.
After the video was released, a drunken supporter of the OCU with a cigarette in his teeth tried to dismantle a surveillance camera belonging to the UOC community, which was installed on a building neighbouring the church. The police considered his actions lawful.
As reported, in Transcarpathian Luh people in camouflage broke the doors and seized the church.
