The St. George's Church of the UOC in the village of Kotsiubynske, Kyiv region, which was violently seized by OCU representatives on March 13, was closed on Sunday, the holiday of the Nativity of John the Baptist. According to the Dozor_kozak1 Telegram channel, UOC believers sent them a video from Kotsiubynske.
It is noted that the church has been closed for several months.
"According to a parishioner of the church, the raiders from the OCU served in the raided shrine only a few times and then forgot about it. Those who broke the doors of the House of God during the service, who twisted the hands of the clergyman and threw him out of the church, do not need the church," the message reads.
As previously reported, a group of raiders from the OCU in balaclavas broke into St. George's Church of the UOC in Kotsiubynske, Kyiv region, during a service.
