People who came to seize the Kazan Church of the UOC in Ladyzhyn claim that they do not go to church and have their own gods. A video of the dialogue was posted on "Dozor on Kozak1".
"You drive people, do you realise it or not? You've never been to the temple," a parishioner of the Kazan Church addressed one of the raiders, to which he replied, "After 2014 I haven’t believed in you at all."
"I don't believe in your gods, do you realise it or not? I have my own god," the raider declared. When asked why he then came to seize the temple, he replied, "So that there is a Ukrainian church."
"Maybe I'll believe then," the man supposed and knocked out the parishioner's phone.
