On 6 December 2023, in St. Nicholas Cathedral of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Kremenets, Ternopil region, from which the authorities cut off the locks on 30 November, a "worship service" of the OCU was held. This was reported on his Facebook page by the acting director of the Kremenets-Pochayiv Reserve Vasyl Ilchyshyn.
The published footage shows that the "worship service" was attended by the "hierarchs" of the OCU M. Pysyk, M. Zinkevich and P. Yurysty.
The state reserve noted that St. Nicholas Cathedral in Kremenets was "occupied" since 6 December 1832, so it is important that "a prayer for Ukrainian soldiers sounds precisely on the day of the Ukrainian Armed Forces."
We shall remind you that on 30 November 2023, the police cordoned off the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Kremenets, on the territory of which there was a regents' school. The students themselves were forcibly expelled with their belongings to the street at 5:30, and the doors to their rooms were cut off with angle grinders.
As reported by the UOJ, in Kremenets, the crowd voted in favour of the transfer of St. Nicholas Cathedral.
